I live in Vegas, and 5 or so years ago I looked into getting MLB TV. I discovered that the Padres, D-Backs, Angels, Dodgers, A’s, Giants, and Rockies all claim Vegas as a “home” market and thus all the games are blacked out here. What a freakin joke!

I watch games and I pay zero attention to what’s written on the field. Means zero to me, so their little antic to try to teach me some sort of lesson didn’t work.


My feelings exactly. I'm watching my Cubs all I can this year. That stuff doesn't trigger me like it does some, in fact IMHO they are doing it just to trigger folks. but I do disagree with it so I'll just not tune in till the game starts.

Lifelong baseball fan here. Love the sport more than anything else. Loyal Cubs fan fwiw.

I told my wife yesterday if they put BLM on the mound I wouldn’t watch. Turned it on and watched one pitch then changed the channel. Never went back.

I’ll miss it but it’s worth missing bc the only thing I can do is not watch. My voice won’t be be heard and mlb wouldn’t doesn’t give a shite about me and that’s fine. It’s a choice I’ve made and I’m at peace with it.

Because telling everyone how you are boycotting something because you don’t agree with their beliefs is 100% virtue signaling



Will start with that didn’t happen

Asking seriously, why would a company be willing to trigger its view


It's not the "company triggering" I'm referring to.

Did you quit the NFL when they started pink for breast cancer? All cancers are bad, they put stuff all over the field for just the one!

Plenty of people swore they would never attend an MLB game ever again after Jackie Robinson took the field.

And the kids and grandkids of the same people will say they will never watch never watch NFL, NBA, and MLB. Thankfully, these people are slowly becoming the minority so that's good.

An innocent man who was very good at baseball isn’t the same thing as BLM burning, looting, and pushing a raging political agenda.

Nice try though.

What sucks is the moderate sports fans are being forced to take it or pick a side. Only thing anyone can do is speak with the wallet and viewership.

Yes, they can't differentiate between actual heroes like Jackie Robinson and idiots today who kneel for the flag and want to destroy everything. All terms have lost meaning and "hero" is just another one.
