Amid the glow of baseball's opening day, there is a cloud looming over the All-Star Game still more than three months away. It would be the third time Atlanta serves as host, having previously held the event in 1972 and 2000. Freeman suggested that the game should remain at Truist Park, but be used as a platform to promote voting rights. Biden told ESPN he would "strongly support" pulling the game out of Atlanta because of a law he described as "Jim Crow on steroids." The LPGA has not responded to a request for comments on whether a new venue is under consideration in the wake of the Georgia law.
