In response to the falsetrage created by wakesters opposing the Georgia election integrity bill, Coca-Cola and other Georgia-based companies like Delta Airlines, Coca-Cola joined the ranks of Georgia-based businesses such as Delta Airlines. Brian Kemp was at that time.
After the CEOs of these companies stabbed in the back the very state that had supported them the most, which coupled with the Stacey Abrams-led boycott push and Major League Baseball’s decision to pull the All-Star game out of the state costing business owners already struggling to stay afloat 100s of millions of dollars, the backlash to the backlash was swift with a poll released a month later showing a majority of voters not appreciating their interference in public policy at all.
Well karma, as they say, is that word that rhymes with “witch” (cc: Travis Tritt) and here we are several months out from the controversy over the election reform bill to see that both Georgia and Texas will be hosting this year’s World Series thanks to respective NLCS and ALCS wins by the Atlanta Braves and the Houston Astros, a nightmare for “woke” MLB who surely now has to be conflicted over whether or not to reschedule Game 6 (if needed) which would be on Election Day:
For planning purposes … Game six of the World Series would be on Nov. 2 — the same night as Atlanta’s mayoral elections and hundreds of other local + municipal races across the state. #gapol pic.twitter.com/ak6bn4vSoj

I mean, come on – wouldn’t the game interrupt the normal flow of a voting day, tempting Georgia residents who might find it more enjoyable to stand in line to order a room-temperature hot dog smothered in extra relish and stale nachos that really do taste good as long as they’re drowned in some pseudo-cheese sauce over waiting in line like drones at the polling place in order to vote for candidates that are making a lot of big promises that voters fear they won’t keep?
A big game being played the day before people vote would almost be voter suppression. Well, definitely more so than that Georgia election reform bill Dems whined about but didn’t actually read, anyway.
But I digress.
Back to Coca-Cola – with the news that Hotlanta will be hosting several of the series games comes questions for Coca-Cola, who will rake in millions in sales of Coke products during those Atlanta home games, which if we’re to listen to the left and the woke CEOs is almost literally blood money taken in a state that wants to “disenfranchise” minority voters, or so we’ve been told.
We now turn to Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark).), who posed some questions to Coca-Cola’s CEO on this very matter:
Will @CocaColaYou are not allowed to sell beverages at World Series Atlanta home games.
Oder has @CocaColaIs the CEO who woke up to his mission against voter ID now gone?

I suspect Cotton was quite serious in his questions, and I don’t blame him one bit.
Coca-Cola should not sell Coca-Cola products at games if they are truly determined to resist the Georgia voter law and stand up for the rights of the.000027% of Georgians that will be adversely affected by it. And if they do end up selling their products, they should write a formal letter explaining why they’ve backtracked on their supposed commitment to ensuring all citizens maintain their right to vote.
But they won’t, because “woke Coke” is, well, a joke. The joke is not very funny. It claims to support minority communities, but then turns around and sells them out the next day in order to make corporate profits. It’s a bit like Nike and Apple lecturing North Carolina on how they violate human rights by exploiting slave labor in China to make profits. Except that the Georgia law caused a lot of panic and no one was hurt.
That Coke will sell products at the upcoming games is yet another reminder that they and similar corporations who routinely talk out of both sides of their mouths, in reality, have no moral compass if they don’t have the courage to stand by their convictions, as warped as those “convictions” actually are.
Follow the money, as always.
