Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) wrote a very strongly-worded letter on Monday to the Commissioner of Major League Baseball, Rob Manfred, in response to the decision to move the All-Star game out of Georgia.

"@marcorubio letter to Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred asking him if he’ll relinquish his personal membership at Georgia’s Augusta National Golf Club, after MLB moves All Star Game and Amateur Draft out of Georgia."
"I write to ask you whether you intend to maintain your membership at Augusta National Golf Club. As you are well aware, the exclusive members-only club is located in the State of Georgia."
"Will Major League Baseball now end its engagement with nations that do not hold elections at all like China and Cuba? Will you end your lucrative financial relationship with Tencent, a company with deep ties to the Communist Party and actively helps the Chinese Government hunt down and silence political dissidents?"
Rubio concluded the letter by writing "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 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."
