If you say so. I have no first hand knowledge of Abrams’ comments or


Oped edits. I quickly researched it and found it was USA Today, and it appears the allegation is she may have removed a comment leaving the door open for future boycotts (but still favored keeping the game in Atlanta at that time), removed a mentioned that she can’t argue in principle with people who wanted to move the game out of Atlanta, and added a line about the cost to Atlanta of moving the game.

Even that is only reported in right wing outlets as far as I could see, so who knows how true it is, and even if it’s completely true, it still does not appear that she ever endorsed moving the game.
