Major League Baseball is moving this year’s All-Star game out of Atlanta, the league announced Friday. However, since Dodger Stadium already is set to host the 2022 All-Star game, the Dodgers are not under consideration to host this year’s game, according to a person familiar with the league’s thinking. California's governor asks for an All-Star Game - and rips his Georgia counterpart, all in one tweet. (By the way, the Dodgers aren't getting this year's All-Star Game, as they're hosting next year.) However, after North Carolina adopted its so-called bathroom bill in 2016, forcing transgender people to use restrooms corresponding with the sex on their birth certificates, the NBA moved its 2017 All-Star game from Charlotte, N.C. After the law was changed, the NBA awarded Charlotte its 2019 All-Star game.
