So, people buy season tickets, but can't go to the games. MLB, for $86, will put up a picture of you in the stands.

Sportsball can die.

There must be something wrong with me, but I can actually think of something better to do with $86.

And I can actually think of something better to do with my time than watching a boring game like baseball on TV.

What will the mets do if their fake crowd is not diverse enough? They could give out cardboard cutouts in underrepresented neighborhoods.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Why not PRETEND to play a PRETEND ball game?

Just pay a couple of announcers to read a make-believe game off of a script, while computer generated images of the plays are shown on screen.

THAT is what this is all coming to.

I was thinking the same thing. The racial mix of the cutouts will be critical to make sure that cut outs of color are not under-represented.

‘Just pay a couple of announcers to read a make-believe game off of a script, while computer generated images of the plays are shown on screen.’

actually, a variation on that would be significantly more fun than sitting and watching an actual game, with pitchers staring at catchers for 60 seconds, then stepping off the rubber, or batters getting out the box to adjust their gloves after each pitch...

This has got to set a record for narcissism. What a stupid way to spend $86. How many people would this money have fed at the food bank? You can just hear the conversations around the water cooler. An appropriate question would be, “Who saw your cutout, and what did they say?”
