At least they didnt use that horrible "equity" word, which is incorrectly used.

Haven't watched one game this year.

Me. Either. I named my son after a baseball player. I loved baseball. No clue how the Cubs are doing. Don’t care.

Wait till MLB creates a inclusive czar.. just like the other university thread.

What the freak does that even mean? Mlbpa and the players alliance. Why 2 lol

 

[GatorOK]

Mets made a statement as well...Just fucking stop. They are crushing themselves.

 

[s-ou-thern]

I’m so happy. I wrote them off for over 20 years with the strike that cancelled the playoffs. I started to watch some about five years ago.

they dabbled with some political idiocy. Then they really stepped in it with the all star game crap. Now, I hope they keep stepping in it. Hope they fall in it. And now hope they constantly wallow in their own shit idiocy.

 

[Hoppo]

I hope protestors set fire to Twins stadium.

I have not watched one second of MLB since the statement about the Georgia voting law.

Waiting for them to dust off the previously used, "not enough AA's in baseball".

Same. Not one Cardinals game all season.

Has Rob Manfred himself made any kind of statement at all; or is he in hiding? Don’t have Twitter; so I’m also interested to hear about comments/backlash regarding him personally, as well as MLB.

have not watched at all so far; and it pains me.

Here’s the thing, if enough people stay strong and don’t watch it will kill their tv ratings which will kill revenue and fuck over all these SJW athletes salary. That will be the only thing that teaches them the lesson they need to learn.

That’s actually not the thing.... It doesn’t matter how many people watch as long as people support the sponsors. Your voice is heard from your wallet, not your eyeballs

Tv revenue is one of the biggest factors in how much money they make.

Is MLB getting such good ratings that franchises are able to pay our $300 million contracts?

Sponsors wont sponsor w/o tv revenue.

Not that I give a shit, but the NBA is the hardest hit in this front, will have to see what they do.

Being in with China, they will just make their citizens start buying MLB gear and watching games on the tv.

Americas past time even sold out to China.

Well the mlb is made off of individual markets, however the dodges have the biggest payroll in baseball at 245 million and they make 239 million in tv revenue, so yes I would say it’s a pretty big contributing factor.
