Foreshadowing what may happen in other states if similar laws are passed.

“It means cancel culture and partisan activists are coming for your business, they’re coming for your game, or your event in your hometown.”
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp blaming President Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams for the move.
This after Kemp signed an omnibus voting bill into law last week.
That bill prompting lawsuits from civil rights groups and criticism from the CEOs of major Georgia employers Coca-Cola and Delta.

The MLB All Star game relocation means a huge economic loss for the state.
