While Major League Baseball made headlines when it moved its 2021 All-Star Game from Atlanta to Coors Field in Denver in response to Georgia s new controversial voting law, Augusta National and Masters chairman Fred Ridley said he did not want any boycotts surrounding this year s tournament in the state.
Bob Harig of ESPN shared some of the comments from Ridley, who replaced Billy Payne as Masters chairman in 2017: We realize that views and opinions on this law differ, and there have been calls for boycotts and other punitive measures. Unfortunately, those actions often impose the greatest burdens on the most vulnerable in our society. And in this case, that includes our friends and neighbors here in Augusta who are the very focus of the positive difference we are trying to make.
