Major League Baseball (MLB) chose the wokes over their fans when they relocated the All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver. And, it appears, the fans are letting their feelings be known. The television ratings for Sunday Night Baseball, MLB’s flagship primetime offering and ESPN’s premier weekend evening broadcast, have sunk 49 percent from last year. According to Sports Media Watch: A 7-inning Cardinals-Braves Sunday Night Baseball game averaged just 931,000 viewers on ESPN over the weekend, down 49% from the comparable window in 2019 (Cubs-Dodgers: 1.84M) and the least-watched Sunday night game this season. The game aired opposite aCORRECTION*

Doesn't help that the average three hour game contains a total of seven minutes of action...........

I turned a game off the other night when I saw a rainbow sign of some sort superimposed on the pitching mound, and fans with rainbow flags in the stands. Enough already.

MLB dropped our minor league team. But now they have their own league and attendance is UP. Enjoying cheering for The River Riders as much as we did the Cubs, but for a small fraction of the price.

Watch Sunday Night BB only when my team is playing. Coverage stinks. My usual commentators are not on, announcers talk wayyyyyyyy too much (let the game breathe in the name of Doubleday for crying out loud).
Otherwise I watch my MLB team as often as I can. They can have their social stuff - I FF thru it or steel myself against buying anything connected with it. The MLB ministers have messed up the game like the despots they are. In the meantime Play Ball!

Interesting bit of irony: Responding to the Chi-Com Flu, MLB fell for BLM and ended up shooting themselves in the head.

I worked with a group of guys who were die-hard baseball fans. They loved the game, played when they were young, coached their kids in Little League, went on group vacations for spring training, spent a fortune on tickets each summer. Not one of them has tickets for a game this year. They turned their backs on MLB when MLB embraced leftist politics - last summer it was players taking a knee in solidarity with BLM, this year it's been the All Star Game move and "pride" flags and logos all over the stadiums. I don't think they'll ever attend another MLB game.

Love the game. Hate the MLB. The game is Americana. It's summer. To fully experience and appreciate it watch an afternoon semi-pro game (no night game lunacy), and right after they've mowed the outfield grass. It's heaven. And the relief pitcher is God.

It's no longer about the game. It's aboutt the cause. Major league sports panders. to the left wing cause of the day and has left their fan base behind. Come to think of it, so has the NCAA. Sports have become insufferable.

I've always found baseball boring, now it is boring and leftist, so I have two reasons not to watch.

We enjoy watching our two local teams, although rarely see the Dodgers because we don’t subscribe to the channel their management did a deal with. We record the games and watch them on half-hour delay - that way we can excise the commercials and the commentator chitchat. ESPN’s special baseball coverage is hopeless. Bad announcers, including an annoying woman. Spoils a perfectly good game which I found belatedly is not always boring. New rules may kill it...

Major league sports, Hollywood, so-called "news" media, the FBI, courts including the Supreme Court, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Disney, Victoria's Secret, Twitter, Facebook, etc., etc. - the Left befouls and destroys EVERYTHING it touches and it tries, with great success, to touch everything. When will enough people begin to recognize this pernicious philosophy for the deadly evil it is?
Or is it already too late?

Here's an idea MLB, Owners, Players Union. Antifa Night, BLM Night, We Love Karen's Night, Defund the Police Night, Fauci Rocks Night, We Back Critical Race Theory Night, Rename Critical Race Theory Night, LeBron James Night, Slavery Ok For Uighur's Night, Down With Fair Voting Night, Stacey Abrams Night, Congress Night,
You won't make much at the door because the crowd will be victims and shouldn't have to pay, but when you next speak to Soros, I'm sure he'll pick up their tab. Giveaways for all nights will be a free vaccine shot, double MLB mask, and a Nancy Pelosi Bobblehead.

When I was a kid, I was a die-hard Cubs fan. My "sports hero" was Mr. Cub. I used to love to listen to Jack Brickhouse and Lou Boudreau call the games on WGN radio. During summer vacation, I played baseball all day long, except to do my chores. When the players went on strike for the first time, I was shattered. How could they??
I lost interest in baseball and all other professional sports and haven't looked back. I can find better things to do with my time.

Funny how it happens. You start by getting pizzed of at baseball players who won't stand for the anthem let alone sing along. Then comes a so called pandemic where they just collect their fat paychecks and don't play baseball. Then they play a little bit of baseball in empty stadiums for TV and the likes of Dr. Fuzzy. Then they want me to come back and I don't remember missing it. Sorry, no season ticket seat licensee this year. I've found other ways to entertain myself. Ditto NFL and NBA.

MLB should invite all Black Lives Matter movement members and supporters into their ballgames “free” as their reparations contribution to Black society and see what happens? They could even throw in “free” beer as a kicker.

Tune them out. All of them. NBA, NFL, MLB. You don't need them, but they need you, and they act like it's the other way around.
