3 Strikes, You're Out #70: No ASG for the ATL with D.Gil

Next week on April 15th, MLB will be celebrating Jackie Robinson Day. And they'll be doing so after taking a social justice stand that Jackie Robinson would have supported for the first time in...*checks notes*...ever?
Today, friend of the pod and Outsports Podcast Network cohort D.Gil (The Gameday Tea) is back to talk about MLB moving the All Star Game out of Atlanta in response to Georgia's new voter suppression laws. It's a very important discussion because D.Gil comes at this issue from the perspective of both a Black and gay Atlanta native as well as a former Braves gameday employee. And we break down what moving the All Star Game means as a public rebuke of a racist law and how it effects the people who depend on baseball to make a day-to-day living.
After digging into that very weighty topic, we lighten the mood a bit by overreacting to the Braves' season opening four game losing streak. They'll be fine! And I even find a way to work in a discussion of Love, Simon--perhaps my favorite thing to come out of Atlanta...
