Major League Baseball announced on Friday that they would be moving their annual All-Star Game out of Atlanta after a leftist outcry against Georgia’s recently passed election laws that expand early voting and require a free, voter ID from voters in the Peach State.
In light of this corporate activism, Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-UT) said that the exemption protecting MLB from antitrust laws should be revoked.
Lee wrote that questioned MLB’s antitrust immunity status, saying that the federal government should “stop granting special privileges to specific, favored corporations—especially those that punish their political opponents.”
Why does @MLB still have antitrust immunity? It’s time for the federal government to stop granting special privileges to specific, favored corporations—especially those that punish their political opponents. https://t.co/k3GIZuGYHB

Cruz backed Lee up, saying that he was right, and that together the two legislators would be “working hard to END MLB’s antitrust immunity.”
