A corporation tried to get involved with policy making, that’s what should bother you. Not the tax credit they just lost, that was the punishment for intervening.
WOKE MLB pulls all star game out of Atlanta

The Trump tax didn't involve Corporation input? Trump had a team of top executives that discussed policies, my company CEO was a member. I see so much hypocrisy in this thread it's sad. It's really a if the Republicans do it, it's ok because I like their views and policies but if the democrats do it, it's awful because I hate their views and policies. The country will never repair that way.
The left cancels the right similarly for years...but now it's an issue?
When a company chooses to make statements that are an affront to my beliefs, that is their right. It's stupid imo but they're free to make stupid decisions. Likewise, I'm free to do business with others whenever possible.
Goya paid a price for their moves. They were free to do so and their customers were free to make choices based on those positions.
Once again! If u think they should allow it to happen to themselves and none of u snowflakes speak out against it then why should they do the same?? Like I said, businesses should stay out of politics. Just ask the nba n nfl. All are loosing $$ haha
What did Delta speak out against? Let’s walk through this together so you can understand
Trump invited corporations to chime in on policy. Where did Georgia ask for Delta’s opinion? You’re arguing two different things here. What does Delta’s business model have to do with voting laws? Why is left putting pressure on corporations to speak out against policies all of the sudden?
If Delta doesn’t like that Georgia raised their taxes then why are they in support of a man about to raise their taxes even more? Delta also has the right to pull its business out of Georgia just like the MLB pulled the all star game.
Also keep in mind that Delta is bitching that voter ID is racist but you need an ID to board the plain? Racist much?
I guess it’s time for u snowflakes to change ur ways and it’s about time that the republicans fight back with the same actions.
Actually it’s not just speaking out. It’s threatening with action and influence. So Georgia did the same and followed thru just as mlb did.
I told you before that the voter ID law isn't racist. I think that's where we differ. Delta can speak out on whatever they want and it doesn't have to be accurate. Plenty of politicians, people and businesses have "got it wrong". That's truly not the point or my point. As I stated before, making Delta pay a tax because they spoke out is petty.
Would you be ok if New York democrats taxed Fox/newsmax for speaking out against Biden's covid bill? Or if California democrats taxed OAN for supporting Trump bills?
Delta never threatened anyone haha. The CEO just called bill "unacceptable" and here is Delta statement. Please highlight the threatening actions
Delta statement on SB202
Delta issued the following statement from CEO Ed Bastian on Friday following passage of election bills by the Georgia General Assembly.

Mlb did threaten and delta did with their influence. U open ur mouth ur gonna influence based on ur following. Now they will pay for it. Just like the mlb moving the game from Georgia. They did so cause the political party in Georgia didn’t give in to their threats. So follow the bouncing ball. Lol. Like I said. Keep their businesses out of politics.Delta never threatened anyone haha. The CEO just called bill "unacceptable" and here is Delta statement. Please highlight the threatening actions

So let me see here. You are only against cancel culture until it's you being cancelled? 😂 Leftist wokism is not only hypocritical but hilarious.
Here's the deal. Georgia is shoring up it's shoddy election fraud defenses and the left is howling like a wounded buffalo. Fvck em. If it were up to the left, we'd never have a free and fair election EVER again.
I wouldn’t care because they are the one’s doing business in those states. They have every right to leave those states if they do not like the taxes. Was there an outrage when Tesla left California for Texas? You will not find one post from me about how states charge business taxes.
Again, Delta has every right to move its business out of Georgia. Keep in mind that they got a tax benefit for doing business in Georgia and Kemp took it away. Kemp isn’t adding even more taxes on top of that.
However, you do understand the difference between being invited to talk policy on federal corporate taxes and speaking out against a state bill where the people in the Oval Office had called businesses to ask they start making public statements about said laws that have no financial impact on their businesses.
I’m not accusing you of saying voter ID is racists but Coke, Delta Airlines and the MLB have and are continuing to do so. Now you have other airlines and companies in Texas trying to do the exact same thing.

I read a couple of months back California was trying to pass legislation taxing fleeing corporations for 10 years after their departure. You really just can't make this kind of shit up. 😂 😂😂
See, this is what I’m talking about. It’s crazy to think that you can charge a corporation your state taxes 10 years after you are no longer doing business in California. So not only are they charging outrageous taxes to do business in California but then 10 years after? GTFO!
I watched a clip this morning where some phaggot Dimtard was defending eliminating the SALT limitation on federal tax deductions. Hey dumbfvck, you got a huge leap in the standard deduction. I do not GAF that you tax your residents to death, that's on YOUR state. And you wonder why your states and cities are broke AF due to your free shit for everything spending??
Hell no, go fvck yourselves. You made your beds, then shit in them. Sleep in them.

Bro, I'm against all canceled culture. I've stated that before. I said that both sides does it and people like you said I was making up stuff, well there you go. Seems like you're only against it when it's from the left.
If you think a lot of what those CEOs request doesn't make it into policies then you're being naive.
I'm sure if Delta leaves Georgia, some of you will complain about that too 🙄.
What’s your definition of cancel culture?
What social media did to Trump = cancel culture.
The right boycotting products or services is not cancel culture.
I don’t want to see the NFL, MLB or NBA cancelled. I want them brought to their knees financially by boycotting their games and apparel until they focus on their businesses and not state legislature.
They will always have a voice but their voice comes with consequences.
Why would state legislature need input from delta or coke on voting laws? That’s silly to think that.
Now, will state legislature work with current businesses or incoming businesses on financial laws and regulations? Of course!
This is my point Kalim, these are two different things that you’re trying to lump together.
Delta could move their operations to Mars, wouldn’t bother me one bit. Does it hurt the Georgia economy, absolutely but they have every right to move their business where ever they please.
LOL. So pretty much the dorks on here that don't watch baseball are going to boycott it.
Well done.
Well done.
Awwww! The dem posting as an independent is upset at how the republicans are acting! Whatever will we do????
I see so much.....*checks notes*....hypocrisy in this reply! Just saddens my heart as an....*checks notes*.....independent voter!
Trump is bad. Let's just all admit that. Even in a thread that has nothing to do with Trump, somehow the 'independent' voters invoked his name and made him the baddie LOL
On an unrelated note, we have some of the dumbest trolls I've ever seen.
People like me? You people? WUT?
I don't remember either saying anything about you, strictly rhetorical. In this particular situation, it's the left that's doing the cancelling. How can you say this is the right doing so? Who started this again? As for MLB and the NBA, NFL, etc..... I'll watch a little NFL, but my Sunday afternoons don't involve them either unless it's raining, I have better things to do. I have zero Kobes to give about either MLB or the NBA. I haven't watched a single NBA game since Jordan retired. Professional baseball sucks balls, it's boring to me. I used to like to watch knuckleball pitchers make fools out of professional batters, but that ship seems to sailed long ago.
It doesn't take a lot of brain power to tend to the fries.
We had this discussion before and boycotting is not cancel culture. Trump being banned from social media platforms isn't canceled culture.
I know the lines are blurred but Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc is a private company that requires people to agree to rules to use the site. Their rules states that if you don't follow them, you can loss access to their sites. Trump violated their rules. I'm personally not comfortable with banning people from Twitter but that's their right. I don't own the company and I don't believe people should tell them how to run their company. You think otherwise?
Cancel Culture is all over the place. People don't know what is and what's not. Some people think boycotting is a form of cancel culture.
They aren't losing any sleep over losing your support or mines. I don't even know people mention that haha.People like me? You people? WUT?
That's something I noticed too. Complaining about sports leagues that they don't watch or allegedly don't care about. Yet, they seem to know how well they are doing or not doing....
Never said that they do care about voting but some people are saying companies need to stay out of legislation period. You're saying that they need to stay out of legislation that doesn't involve them. Check the thread, everyone is arguing something different haha...
You may don't care but I wouldn't be shocked if he because a right wing talking point "Delta leaving GA based on the far-left lies and hurting the people of GA".
You guys realize that the MLB does not GAF about being left or right, yeah? They're just chasing money like any other corporation. They're doing what they're doing because they believe they'll make more money than otherwise, that's it.
I mean, just look at the comments here. None of you even watch baseball, that's why MLB doesn't GAF what you think. All these corporations going woke doesn't reflect in the least their moral/political leanings, it reflects the fact the left has more money in whatever business they're conducting. Businesses with a client base that's more right leaning won't ever do what MLB did.

If delta leaves Georgia, I fully expect the Republicans to use that on the campaign. It would be a huge win on the woke BS movement. However, this would be no different than shutting down the pipeline because of the left. Either way, the people lose but yet the people vote for these policies.
That's why I have zero fuks to give about the plight of blue states who are underwater financially. They are getting what they voted for and deserve. This "woe is me" BS falls on deaf ears. They've literally shit in their own beds, yet wonder why people and businesses leave.
Unfortunately some of the people fleeing the madness believe their stupid shit will work in other states "this time". No it won't. But you just can't fix stupid.
lol.......RAY CIST!!! 😂Interesting...
