The Yankees on TV only matters to Yankees fans. I didn’t watch an inning of the World Series last year. But watched every inning of my team in the playoffs.

If this is a weird pissing match between the NFL and MLB for you, consider this: When was the last time a MLB game was decided by an arbitrary call by an umpire? And before you say "wide strike zone"........batters can still swing and make contact. I like both the NFL and MLB.......but I like the NFL for what it is: strictly entertainment with heavy vegas betting-line influences. Baseball might be the last pure "sport" left in this world (at least from an outside influence perspective, such as umpires/referees).

It's popular to bash Derek Jeter but he walked away from the Marlins today because they were being cheap and not willing to spend more on payroll.

I feel like MLB is in a unique situation. It's kind of a dying sport. It's probably one reason the players don't like what they are being offered. As popularity wanes, so does resources and pay.
NBA while it has dwindled a bit in fandom domestically since the 90s - it's made up in the international market. NFL is the NFL and is king and is just a monster so that isn't going away, especially with fantasy football and draft kings coming to fruition. MLS is getting bigger every year. MLB is just kind of there with a super aging demographic. |

As far as I can tell, unless something actually happened today, MLB and its owners have not been seriously negotiating the entire week as they have not budged on the issues that are actually critical to getting a deal done. I believe they are fully content with another shortened season like in 2020. It would mean paying the players far less and it would still mean they get their all-important playoff revenue in the end.
