Financially, the owners would come out ahead if they didn’t play this season. Reason being, they haven’t been able to sell tickets and have people in the stadium.

Financially, owners were scheduled to incur some big losses this year, just to say they had played a season.

Now with this situation, I could see them deciding to abandon the season.

That's Business as Usual for the Marlins.

I have the opposite impression. They’ve been so insistent about playing this season that I’ve assumed they are facing some serious financial penalties under their TV contracts if they don’t play at all.

Owners can weather the losses far easier than the players.

Unless there’s a WuFlu clause in the players’ contracts...

If not, it’s gonna suck to be the players.

They’re going to wish they hadn’t pi$$ed away all the fans’ good will by embracing the BLM crap when the players go ball cap in hand, begging for a bailoout.
