Same.

They wouldn’t miss my pennies but I cannot watch.

I don’t see how anyone with a drop of patriot blood could watch these sport commies dis our flag without throwing a brick through the TV screen.

The depths to which MLB has fallen make me want to VOMIT. I’m done with them... forever. And when I say forever, I mean it. I’m hardcore FOREVER!

I used to be a fan, I really did, but if I want a sermon I go to church. MLB’s problem is the same as the NFL’s - you give people back the time they used to spend on you and they find better ways to spend it.

I gave up on ALL Sports after seeing what they did to Steve Garvey for cheating on the Family Channel’s little darling, his Wife Cindy. Then almost immediately, if you didn’t Beat your Wife, Have 2-3 Baby Momma’s and on Parole for a Felony, All tatted up with Gang Tattoo’s and live the Thug Life you weren’t cut out for Pro Sports.

what they paint in the dirt is beside the point. there are japanese language ads behind home plate at (whatever they call) angel’s field, where they also sold the back of the pitcher’s mound to (it appears) a tire company.

the guy that wrote this needs to stop looking for sh*t to get his panties in a twist.

Exactly. Spoiled, ignorant, and childish. Ted Williams fought in WW 2 and Korea... and was half Mexican by the way. If one of his teammates disrespected the flag? Career ending injuries would happen immediately.

Great article which is a good reflection of my sentiments.

We have to destroy MLB to save it.

Hell they lost me on the boredom factor alone about 12-14 years ago. And I used to pitch when I was a kid and played softball into my 40’s. MLB jumped the shark during the 90’s; it took me about 10 years to let it go.

I can’t get past the little league toddler rule to put a runner on 2B in extra innings.

I haven’t been to an MLB game in person since the strike that cancelled the 1994 World Series. My employer forced our entire workforce to take a 5% pay cut in 1993, so the 1994 players’ strike repulsed me. I haven’t watched a game on TV since the introduction of the ads behind home plate, visible from the center field camera. When I glance up at a game on TV when I’m at my gym, I cringe when I see the electronic strike zone. Had I still been a fan, this year’s anti-American display would have further repulsed me. I’m done with professional sports. I’ll watch a Jane Fonda movie before I watch MLB, NFL, or NBA.

It's long past time for Americans to get over all professional sports.

I went to two world series here in Toronto in 92 and 93. I was at game 6 when Joe Carter hit the second walk off home run to end a series. That for a fan was the mountain top. I still remained an avid fan for a few years but I’ve been coming down off that mountain for a long time now. Stopped watching when MLB went full homo some years ago now. These latest things are just pounding the rubble for me at this point.
