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.

“I’ll watch a Jane Fonda movie before I watch MLB, NFL, or NBA.”

May I recommend the first 10 minutes of “Barbarella”.
