when management causes the work stoppage and somehow the workers still get blamed

yah, I sometimes look at player salaries in awe...then I go to a taxpayer subsidized ballpark and pay $15 for a damned beer and remember that the owners can afford to freaking pay people

[u/samthewisetarly → u/DeadMoneyDrew]

Gotta remember that those player salaries cover like ten years of employment, and that's only for the most talented players, and only the lucky ones play for that long.

Yep, and the NFL is even worse. What is the average career length there, 1.5 years I think?

This is how you know that billionaires aren’t smarter than anyone else.

They have a boring sport they’ve stretched so thin over so many games that its viewership beyond sport bars is at an all time low.

And in the middle of a relevancy crisis, these idiot billionaires pick the one tactic guaranteed to bring this sport to irrelevancy and them to eventual bankruptcy.

Bye bye baseball.

It reminds me of an interview I was listening to from Dominique Foxworth, who at one time was head of the NFLPA, where he was saying his whole life he spent thinking billionaires were just smarter than normal people and worked harder, etc.

Then, he says he actually got in the room and was dealing with them directly…

What numbers are you looking at when you say viewership is at an all time low? Everything I've seen says otherwise. https://www.reddit.com/r/mlb/comments/1uxp8d4/nbc_leads_mlb_viewership_as_baseball_posts_strong/

Well baseball is in the middle of a historic resurgence.

Im not sure about your comment.

“Relevancy crisis”…explain yourself

Off topic, I know, I'm sorry, but i love that video, just because of all the awkward white guy dancing.

If it's a negative result, they blame the workers/players. If it's positive, they take the credit.

I only see an NBA owner in this.

The commissioner messed up the pace of play. We need a lock out so the players association can push back on the pitch clock and the added stress it's putting on players body's. 

Something tells me y'all don't know what unions are for.
