Judge Rejects Lawsuit Seeking to Return 2021 MLB All-Star Game to Atlanta

Major League Baseball's All-Star Game will remain in Denver after a Manhattan judge rejected a lawsuit that sought to return it to Atlanta on Thursday.

The league moved the game because of Georgia's controversial voting law, and the Washington-based Job Creators Network filed a lawsuit seeking to change that in addition to $100 million in compensatory damages and $1 billion in punitive damages, per Larry Neumeister of the Associated Press.

However, U.S. District Judge Valerie E. Carponi ruled against the group, which was represented by attorney Howard Kleinhendler.

Carponi ruled that Kleinhendler was unable to prove the move was unconstitutional and would cost businesses in the Atlanta area an irreparable $100 million.
