Players disappointed over 'massive' cuts proposed by MLB's sliding-scale salary plan

3. I have a hard time feeling sympathy for the owners or the players

Although baseball is a big business, it's also just a game.

However, we have tens of millions of people out of work. We have millions of people who are sick. We have over a hundred thousand dead from CV-19. We have millions of children starving who are out of school.

I really can't work up too much enthusiasm for someone who gets paid that kind of money to play a game. And I definitely don't give two shits about the billionaires who own professional sports teams.

I really don't care if there's a baseball season.

I really don't care if basketball camps out at Disneyworld to play their games.

I really don't care if there's a football season.

Not when our country has such serious existential problems.

When serious people develop serious solutions to our problems, then we can indulge in sports and entertainment again.
