7. After MLB commissioner Rob Manfred pulled the All-Star Game from Atlanta, Republican Florida Senator Marco Rubio asked if the MLB commissioner plans to drop his membership at Georgia’s Augusta National Golf Club.

Sen. Rubio, pointing out that the league still has business relationships with China and Cuba, accuses Mr. Manfred and the MLB of hypocrisy.

“Taking the All-Star game out of Georgia is an easy way to signal virtues without significant financial fallout. But speaking out against the Chinese Communist Party would involve a significant loss of revenue and being closed out of a lucrative market.” Rubio wrote in a letter to the commissioner.

“I am under no illusion that Major League Baseball will sacrifice business revenue on behalf of its alleged corporate values. Similarly, I am under no illusion you intend to resign as a member from [Georgia's] Augusta National Golf Club. To do so would require a personal sacrifice, as opposed to the woke corporate virtue signaling of moving the All-Star Game from Atlanta.”

What do you think? Should Commissioner Manfred cancel his Augusta Golf Club membership following his decision to deprive Georgia businesses of the millions they would have made from All Star Week - as well as the excitement and enjoyment Georgia baseball fans would have had? Explain your answer.

8. Why do you think Democrats led by President Biden, and the media, are misrepresenting the Georgia law as “voter suppression” - despite the fact that The Washington Post pointed out the inaccuracies in their false accusations?

9. President Biden encouraged a boycott against an American state (Georgia) – but not of the 2022 Olympic Games to be held in Communist China, where ethnic cleansing and genocide are being carried out by the regime. What is your reaction to this?

10. Read all of the “Background” and “Resources” as well as the linked items. What is your view of the Georgia election law: will it lead to election integrity or cause “voter suppression”? Explain your answer.
