One of Georgia’s two U.S. senators on Friday said he respected Major League Baseball’s (MLB) decision to move its all-star game and draft from the state.
“Businesses and organizations have great power in their voices and ability to push for change, and I respect the decision of the players to speak out against this unjust law,” Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), a first-term lawmaker who was won a runoff election in January, said in a statement.
