Mark Wiedmer: Hadn't Major League Baseball done enough to Atlanta before Sunday night?

Apr. 13—What's Major League Baseball got against the Big Peach these days?

Wasn't it enough that MLB took this summer's All-Star game from the city of Atlanta as a rebuke to the state's controversial new voting laws? Especially when President Biden's home state of Delaware and one of the most liberal states in the country, New York, have basically the same voting laws as Georgia?

Sure, it made for some sensational headlines and probably gave a much needed boost to CNN's plummeting ratings for a day or two, but even Biden has since seemed to hint that his early enthusiasm for yanking the game from Atlanta may have been a bit premature.
