Baseball and basketball made me care less with their strikes as well.

Truer words were never spoken.

Since childhood I was a rabid baseball fan. I used to go to about 30 games a year. Post strike, I go to maybe 2 or at most 3. Same for the rest of my family. Everyone's game going habit has changed drastically.

Pro sports best get a clue, they are killing the golden goose.

Attendance for pro sports in general is higher than it's ever been.

Attendance in baseball back in the "Good 'Ol Days" without the union and with tiny salaries and no free agency was garbage.

The motto of the story is that unions ruin everything.
