Major League Baseball announced on Friday (April 2) it’s moving the 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta after Georgia passed a bill that restricts voters in the state’s rights.

In a statement, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said the league is "finalizing a new host city and details about these events will be announced shortly," according to ESPN.

"Over the last week, we have engaged in thoughtful conversations with Clubs, former and current players, the Players Association, and The Players Alliance, among others, to listen to their views," Manfred said in the statement. "I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year's All-Star Game and MLB Draft.”

Manfred said that voting rights should be expanded rather than quelled and cited his league’s efforts to make it easier for people to vote.

“We proudly used our platform to encourage baseball fans and communities throughout our country to perform their civic duty and actively participate in the voting process,” he stated. “Fair access to voting continues to have our game's unwavering support."

The news subsequently made the words “cancel culture” trend on Twitter. Many who have previously criticized “cancelling” were on the front lines of trying to cancel the MLB All-Star Game.
