Federal Judge Won’t Make Baseball Move All-Star Game Back To Atlanta

A federal judge in New York has ruled that a group representing small businesses lacks standing in its lawsuit against Major League Baseball and declined to issue a preliminary injunction that would have ordered baseball to move the game back to Atlanta.

Job Creators Network sued baseball for moving the All-Star Game out of Atlanta in response to Georgia’s new voting law, seeking to have the game moved back or more than $1 billion in damages.

The group says baseball cost Georgia small businesses millions of dollars, but U.S. District Judge Valerie E. Caproni said JCN failed to cite a specific example of one of its members suffering actual injury.
