What is so hard for you to understand about this? I just told you that MLB would be removing the ability that roughly 70% of the video market currently has. How is that not preventing people from watching games? You could at best make the case that it's not preventing people from watching the games - just making it considerably more difficult.

I never said I want MLB to televise every game. I never said I wanted MLB to change. I'm happy with what they offer now. This isn't even about MLB. It is about DirecTV. I can state that over and over and you'll still probably call me a communist (or a fascist) and attack an army of strawmen you think represent me or my views.

I don't advocate forcing any private business to do anything. If they violate the law (even in spite of their antitrust exemption) then they had better deal with that. I'm simply voicing my opinion as to why I think it's stupid.

From your first post on this thread:It's a good thing somebody is finally standing up for this.

Strawmen, my gluteus maximus. In your first post you showed support for the government mandating how and where a private business should sell its product. If you don't think that's fascism, fine. But don't tell me what you don't advocate when in your very first post on the subject, what you now deny is exactly what you were advocating. I assume this means you are now retracting that comment supporting/advocating John Kerry's plan to control private business(es)?
