Sounds like you care a little. Just remember these billionaires aren’t risking their health for this. Also the players can only make this money for so long. There’s plenty of blame to go around, but I’m always going to side with labor over corporate overlords
"labor"
Do I care?? If course I care, there ain't SHITE on tv. I need some live American team sports!
And risking their health?? Cumon bro, I know you're more woke than that.
If I could live on my college budget the way I did, they should be able to manage quite comfortably for the rest of their lives....and if they can't then prob didn't deserve it in the first place
Didn’t say it was hard labor. Still labor though
Well you said you didn’t care who was richer. And if you need some live sports, tell these owners to step up and pay up.
And yes, risking their health. Risking getting the corona, giving it to their families, so yes they are taking risks. Has nothing to do with being woke or not
We're just not drinkin the same grape drink, that's cool.
Owners take all the financial risks. Crybaby players have ruined it. I almost completely stopped watching after the players’ last strike, now I won’t waste any more time & money on mlb. Bye bye.
Off topic alert:
Kills me how you younger guys don't put final periods on your posts. I understand that's the way now, with texts and everything else. I get it. It's just hard to look at.
Fair enough. Hoping both parties can find a compromise otherwise baseball is basically committing suicide
Loss of life/loss of funds
seems like a fair trade.
The 48-52 game season is going to be imposed Monday (I'd say it's at 99.9% now) and after that the MLBPA is going to file a grievance in which honestly, I'm not sure they're going to win, if it is in writing that "we will renegotiate in the case of no fans" and the owners can prove in court that they're losing more money than the players think without fans in the stands.
Only thing I'm hearing right now though when I'm thinking about this from both sides is...
Money money money money
More money
Mooonnnnnnneeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Money
In a year of a global pandemic where you're probably going to see a number of white collar job people laid off later this year and already have a lot of unemployment.
Even though it's going to be a shorter season, I hope they just go ahead and start earlier. It's going to pretty much be an exhibition season anyway, so let's start sometime in mid July and get it over with.
Looked at my cable bill today and noticed they are still charging a fee for sports channel such as ESPN etc. I'm thinking they should have suspended this fee since no sports have been on for 3 months. Debating on calling my provider.
I've been overserved.
Well said
Anyone have any thoughts about the Braves players sitting out the season?
I do, it would just be a bunch of expletives though.
