And the ads,”Just one little strand of mRNA could change the lives of millions, Moderna.”

Oh yeah and the constant barrage of equity and of course stupid rule changes where baseball carries 15 pitchers.

Listening to announcers bragging on a guy going four whole innings or towering homers from a guy batting .240 and of course the man on second, no outs in extra innings is T ball BS.
Love the game but no way you go to a game and have to show a vax card then watch six pitching changes per team and guys claiming their home runs like they’re superman.

I agree. The 10th inning ghost runner did it for me. Plus, baseball was always a free broadcast for decades, and watching a game on tv stimulated interest in going down to the ball park a few times. Now it is all driven by money and broadcasters who don’t know the hometowns and don’t know the fans. Money guys have killed pro ball and they have no idea how to revive it because they don’t give a sh*t about the game.

Add to what you just posted the constant lectures on social and political issues coming from the announcers, analysts, and other clowns who pretend to know the game and it’s no wonder that all three big sports (baseball, football, basketball) are dead to me.

The athletes from 50 years ago were better, more fun to watch, and didn’t have all the baggage that these idiots today have.

I’m done with sports until the Millennium at least.

The day is coming when teams will have an offense squad and a defense squad.
