And, it appears, the fans are letting their feelings be known.

The television ratings for Sunday Night Baseball, MLB’s flagship primetime offering and ESPN’s premier weekend evening broadcast, have sunk 49 percent from last year.

This will eventually draw upon the networks bidding on the next contract, and the sum offered will decrease (I suspect 20-percent less offered than the current contract).

The owners? They will be furious over this, and probably state the obvious...social messaging has to conclude immediately.

Enjoy this season if you're a fan because 2022 will bring a Work Stoppage / Owner Lockout.

It was over when the players wouldn’t play because that rapist with a warrant got shot while resisting arrest with a knife after terrorizing his victim yet again.

It wasn’t just the All Star game. MLB has pushing the BLM crap before that.

I wrote a “dear John” letter to the owners of my favorite team and told them I won’t be back until they return as America’s Sport...
