The last lockout tuned away a lot of fans. This one should do even more damage.

Lost interest in MLB after the 94/95 strike. Even my wife who is/was a huge sports nut has lost all interest in professional sports due to recent events.

I love the game, but haven't cared much for the league or its players since the 94' strike when I was a kid. I've been to several games at the college or smaller league level, but will continue to not give great gall darn about the majors.

Sound more like the players are trying to sell their services for more than the buyers (the owners) are willing to pay. Free market. Greedy players.

It's hard to argue we're actually in any kind of economic danger when we still have a multi BILLION dollar industry based solely on people paying to watch other adults play games.

Greed on both sides. The owners would give the players anything they wanted if it resulted in a salary cap

The owners are approving these $300 million contracts to bring in star players which makes the team more popular and increases revenue. The players are the assets. Can’t cry that you aren’t making enough money if you are the one setting the market.

Owners have cried poor the last two years, and it was shown in a lack of contracts, non-tendering guys to save a pintenance, and manipulation of service time.

Owners are spending to make it seem like theyre not colluding

For not caring, sure are a buncha folks posting. “Look at me! I don’t care, so I’m posting!”

We get it. You’re so cool for not liking things we like. But thanks for the reminder.


Anyway. MLB was finally making headway again with attendance and TV ratings up. A prolonged lockout is he last thing they need. If they’re smart, they’ll have it all wrapped up before Christmas Eve.  But I doubt it as MLBPA has an axe to grind.

I haven't watched professional sports in a long time, effectively "shutting it down" for me. Simple.

You better start believing in a GD sports threads.....you're in one.

The sum total of stupidity in the known internets gets regurgitated in these threads. I can just hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth when GD's curmudgeons are forced to see a sports thread scroll by. [old Ben] It's as if millions of voices suddenly cried out [/old Ben]....and continued crying out...obnoxiously. Like, you know you're going to jail, but you want to slap the shit out of that kid in Walmart obnoxiously.

In for the Lulllls....
