and the rest of sports got to see the enormous PR shitshow that happens when the leagues dont stand up for their bipoc athletes

the owners kept raking in the cash and the players got to tell people to vote for Biden lol, meanwhile the original demands around the strike remain completely ignored and sidelined. A smashing victory!

this is already virtually guaranteed, given the proliferation of variants. we're gonna need a booster to help against those, probably in 2022.

hopefully new variants won't keep popping up at this rate and maybe it won't be a yearly problem by later this decade.

Chud MLB boycott going very strong it looks like. Nothing says we won't stand for your corporate communism trying to ruin the INTEGRITY of our elections like selling out the home opener for the awful Texas rangers.

on the other hand, look how little the athletes needed from the leagues to get back to work. just public support for black lives and the tiniest bit of action ended a wildcat that totally hosed the entire nba

somebody in management might follow that and come to the conclusion its way, way better for their bottom line to stand up publicly for black athletes like mlb just did

Baseball makes it exceedingly hard, or impossible to watch your local team due to blackouts and dumb tv deals, but it's easier than ever to watch other teams with ESPN+, MLBN and FS1 all regularly carrying games. It's really dumb.

Yeah I was thinking about getting mlb tv or whatever it's called since I no longer live in the brewers media market, but then I remembered watching the brewers lose 90 games a year isn't something I should spend money on.

This calculation is already the baseline, this started years ago with the NFL and ever since then the leagues have been going to the liberal groups whose mission it is to replace mission with marketing so that the appearance of the endorsement of radical action is there, but in reality it never threatens the power structure and never leaves the firm control of the NGO sphere

I guarantee Obama's first call was to the league commish

of course they wont do anything substantive, theyre corporations, they dont make the laws. the only thing they care about is money and the only thing they have to offer is press and public opinion. so step on their loving throat until the money is cut off and wring as much good press out of it as possible

The Cubs, who built their major market following between the 60s-80s by using WGN (which is a super station that gets broadcast all over the country), decided in the last year or two that they needed to move to an exclusive pay channel.

I was a braves fan because I could follow them on tbs all those years even when I was out of market, when they stopped showing them I stopped following baseball all together

I used to be able to watch the Braves pretty much anywhere I went because they were carried by TBS. Really sucked when they stopped doing that but at least MLB doesn't give a poo poo apparently about account sharing. Go to coupons and deals and see if there's some open spots on an mlb.tv plan someone is selling
