Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game, a high-profile sporting event that had been scheduled for Truist Park in July, will be moved out of Georgia.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the decision Friday in response to the state’s new voting law.
“I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating (the event),” Manfred said. “Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box.”
The push to move the game had gathered gathered momentum after several large corporations condemned the voting law and President Joe Biden said he would “strongly support” relocating the event.
