    Pro sports all going woke lost me.

    Ever since MLB joined the NBA in being Woke and social direction counselors rather than being sports entertainers, the hell with them and their BS agenda.

    I haven't watched MLB, NBA and the NFL or attended a game since. I've better uses for my entertainment dollar and time than support these lumps.

  3. @ryleighloughty3307

    Isn't It grammatically incorrect to substitute the male pronouns of he him with they, them.?

  4. @TheJasonJackson84

    I wanted to watch this year's playoffs and world series but when the best teams were put out I lost interest

  5. @SunShine-xc6dh

    Lol know next to nothing about baseball never watch it. When you asked your question about 2004 playoffs, first thought was derek Jeter

  6. @josephlucas3099

    This is why the Yankees always win. For 100 years, baseball has its highest popularity when the Yankees win. It is no accident that they win.

  7. @dennymoe8010

    Were all sick of the woke B's being forced on us and ppl are turning off the bs

  8. @flatpat2988

    Because baseball is boring and millennial parents grew up with action sports and thus they have no interest in putting their kids into baseball or watch it. Attendances look good and that’s because the reason for watching a game has changed; more like a beer drinking date night and a before night out activity. Everything has pretty much has been done in baseball in recent memory( home run records) so nothing compelling there as well.

  9. @williamfreeman6935

    Drag Queen NUNS? I'M OUT!!!!

  10. @stevelocke2240

    That ship has sailed. Baseball is too boring to hold the download generation’s attention.

  11. @jfh9219

    I became a fan watching the Cubs on WGN in 1985. I watched many of the games and really enjoyed the sport as it was back then. It has changed so much. My children are fans because I am one. I feel they won't care less as they get older now that you have to pay MLB to watch your team play. As far as going to the games goes, I have four children and taking them to see a game would cost me an arm and legs. Attendance might be steady, but it's going to be a cold one in hell the day I can take my four kids and wife to see a game.

  12. @jackspencer8290

    Your pieces are too long. They should be half this length.

  13. @tomwery1899

    I'm notgoing to watch each team bringing in 10 relief pitchers because they're not good relief pitchers who can't pitch more than 1 inning.Analetics don't belong in baseball don't need to watch softball where either they strikeout or hit a homerun or if it's against the wall the batter stands at homeplate and gets a single

  14. @DMBall

    2021: Manfred pulled the All-Star game out of Atlanta to please the political Left. That was the beginning of the end.

  15. @chad7982

    MLB doesn't care about the fans. It's all about revenue. The Oakland As franchise the last decade in a half is a good example. When I watch this game a lot from the late 80's to maybe 2013 it used to be a combination of fan fun and revenue. Now the owners could care less. The players also complain about a salary cap when the majority of jobs in the universe have one. Yes, baseball has always been a business. But there is just no heart anymore. I stuck through the 94 strike. But now, forget it. Screw em' to the walls. Not for me.

  16. @ignacior.8895

    Dodgers games here in Los Angeles haven't been on television for many many years now. They went to pay per view subscription and in that process they betrayed their city and fans and baseball. That's why they have had the lowest ratings regardless if they are in the playoffs or world series. Plus they have a BLM supporter as their manager. I grew up watching this team and now I cheer when they choke and lose.

  17. @kirklamb3270

    Go woke, go broke.

  18. @340ironman

    People are not into paying for everything. Put it back on over the air tv for free

  19. @sometimesfriendly9839

    KC, baseball has a tradition from way back of having playoff games in the middle of the day to make sure the young fans could see the entire game. If your hometown team was playing, kids might get off early from school or a their parents might call them in sick so the family could go to the game. Baseball had the reputation of being the friendliest sport for kids. If you grew up in the 60's, 70's or 80's, every boy played some kind of organized baseball, either at school or an outside league. It may be outdated in today's sports world, but that's where showing games during the day came from.

  20. @mikemccormick8115

    All pro sports is political garbage.

  21. @secretamericayoutubechanne2961

    Why if a team wins like The Giants, the next day it's +140
    ???? Sometimes. Why are they expected to lose to the same team that they just beat ? TUES TOMORROW

  22. @robinseering

    My best bet is in Mlb: San Francisco +127. Twitter: @SeeringRob.
