The beginning of a trend? MLB pulls the All-Star Game out of GA in response to its new voting laws (Guest-Dave Zirin)

This week the worlds of politics, the law, and sports collide. We are talking about MLB's decision to pull the all-star game out of GA after GA passed new, restrictive, voting laws. We have separate episodes on the politics behind GA's new law with Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitutional and the legal challenges GA's law faces with me and Joe. On this episode with talk with Dave Zirin, the Sports Editor for the Nation, about the history of professional sports organizations acting like, well, political actors. We also talk about whether these organizations will increasingly become key political players. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
