MLB withdrew the game and its 2021 draft from Georgia to protest lawmakers passing a new election reform law that was signed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in late March.
“We’re demanding that @MLB correct the lies about conservative election reform and to return the All-Star Game back to Atlanta,” Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the organization, wrote on Twitter, saying “baseball went broke for wokeism.”
Schlapp composed the dull open letter to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred in answer to the league’s comments before moving the matches from Atlanta, Georgia to Denver, Colorado.
“Throughout our nation’s history, there have been some who have sought to end the American experiment in democratic self-government. Whether motivated by socialist, fascist, or other illiberal authoritarian impulses, these radicals despise the virtues upon which free people can live in harmony,” the ACU wrote. “And you have played into their hands.”

“Your comments regarding the improvements to the Georgia election law are baseless and contrary to reality. Worse, your misguided comments and actions have harmed the good people of Atlanta, especially the African American community,” the letter continues. “Therefore, we urge you to publicly correct the record on Georgia’s election reform law.”

The ACU went on to say that it’s essential for MLB to not stay quiet because they have added to the “deeply flawed and misleading perceptions” on the bill’s content, insisting they haven’t accurately read the new law.
“MLB’s recent public condemnation of a law it did not understand, and the resulting harm to the city of Atlanta, reveal the dangers associated with exercising your authority in an attempt to appease the Left,” the ACU said.
“The appetite of radicals is insatiable, and their ultimate target is the destruction of our nation’s freedoms,” it added.
The ACU ended the letter by asking MLB for a gathering to discuss the matter and noted that to “continue pushing unpopular policies that harm future elections will only threaten the very future of Major League Baseball.”

The new legislation, the Election Integrity Act of 2021, requires a Georgia driver’s license or a state-issued or state-approved ID to vote absentee by mail; limits ballot drop boxes to one per county; limits absentee ballot requests to no later than 11 days before the election day; and prevents people to solicit votes, give or show any campaign material, or provide money or gifts, including food and drink, near any polling place.
The 95-page bill, S.B. 202, passed the state House by a 100-75 vote and the state Senate by a 34-20 vote, with Republicans in support.
