Atlanta is 51% African-American, Denver is 9% African-American. U.S. Census data indicates there are roughly 7.5 times more African-American-owned businesses in Georgia than Colorado.

Regardless of political views this suit won’t go anywhere. There is no legal ground for a business to honor a destination without some sort of contractual agreement with that city. I doubt MLB signed a contract with Cobb county or any other businesses around it. The only entity who could have a claim is the organization itself. But the Braves are not suing MLB.

If the lawyer wants a settlement, he/she should push the disparity in race between Denver and Atlanta. No way MLB wants that to become a talking point for a sport that's already struggling to attract black players and fans
