Santa Anita Derby is tomorrow & in two weeks, the Belmont Stakes
MLB has the moolah to pay 100% of salary. The League has plenty of liquidity to survive this and more bs. It’s an attempt by the league to pressure and corner players into accepting massive pay cuts on top of pay cuts that parties have already agreed too. Can’t blame the players communism is shit
You may not care about these lower class teams playing the big boys,but these teams get a good amount of money for coming to play these D1 schools cause their programs can't cut it in their own league playing against their own competition.The money they get really helps their program to build for better things ahead.They also get to find out just how they compete against the bigger schools and to find out what they need to do to get the experience they need.You see some of these players get drafted after seeing how good these teams really are and how much they have to climb the latter to try and hit that level.For instance Tyreek Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs came from a school of SOUTH ALABAMA ST or something like that and here he is a star in the NFL cause he seen just how hard he had to work to get to the next level.All the college football teams play these so called cupcakes so its not just several its most of them,and one last thing,a school who was taken for granted has become a team to take serious which is APP.ST which competes with D1 schools and even beats some,..aka,..Michigan,..just my two cents
MLB Has Blown Its Chance to Return in Celebratory Fashion by July 4
Absolutely nothing should surprise you at this point, including the fact that MLB had upwards of two months to get its ducks in a row for a July 4 launch and because of pride, incompetence, and greed, they’ve blown it.
The latest on the steaming pile of shit that has become MLB’s “negotiation” efforts:
When you have 30 owners on one side, who don’t precisely all stand for the same thing, and you’ve got players, agents, and a union on the other side, who don’t precisely all stand for the same thing, you can understand how this moment might be challenging. How there would be fights. How the leadership on each side would struggle to deal with all the conflicting inputs.
And yet you’d also think, as we observe this situation from the outside, that everyone involved would appreciate that they and they alone are torching so much value for their industry right now. They are all standing around a house fire, each unwilling to be the one to turn on his hose first. So the house burns. And the rest of us watch, thinking, “But I could’ve stayed in that house … ”
The result, for now, is that the timeline won’t permit a deal to be finished in time for Spring Training Part Two begin early enough that a July 1-4 season launch is possible. They have effectively shredded that plan, despite how good it could have been for the sport and the fans.
Heck, the sides are still writing each other piss letters, a couple days apart. It’s just unbelievable that they are operating this way, holding the players and the fans hostage.

Agreed. The owners and players are equally at fault. It's time for season ticket holders to
return their invoices with FUCK YOU written on them.
Players are spoiled brats and the owners saw this crisis as another opportunity to attempt
a little union busting....SOMETHING THEY HAVE TRIED BEFORE AND FAILED EACH TIME.
Time to boycott spring training games next year.
Time to organize protests and work diligently to REDUCE GAME ATTENDANCE by 10% - 20%.
While we're at it, cancel our ESPN subscriptions, etc.
Imagine the "bad optics" of dozens, even hundreds, of protesters at Yankee games carrying
"FORMER SEASON TICKET HOLDER/NEVER AGAIN" signs.
It's all feasible and I hope it all happens. kth)(&^

Add to that cancelling some Cable TV channels, which for me would reduce my payments.. The problem is I haven't investigated to see if it would cancel some other channels. Evidentely they make TOO MUCH money. I have a collection of baseball cards etc. and loved this sport..BUT LET GREED rule and it will hurt them!
