Expand I can't listen to 97.1 anymore because of all the sports gambling ads. Enough already. I know I am not as into sports as I once was because I am older and have other things going on, but the sports betting aspect is ruining everything. Just like the money is just destroying any good parts of college sports now. I don't want USC and UCLA in the Big Ten. And yes, while the schools make a fortune, the guys risking their bodies deserve to get paid, but it went from nothing to completely out of hand with no adjustment to it and it just doesn't feel legit anymore. 1 Quote

Being a realist, I know they don’t give a **** what a 70 year old fan thinks. Expand The whippersnappers in the league office probably refer to your generation as “the complete gamers”. Quote

chasfh Posted April 5 Posted April 5 It’s no accident their “news” letter comes from the email address info@marketing.mlbemail.com. It’s completely out in the open that their focus is to privilege those teams and players they perceive as superior revenue generators over all others. They’re not even trying to hide that they favor and even root for the Big Six teams and their temporary honorary members (currently the Braves, Orioles, and Phillies) over nobody teams like the Tigers. Maybe Scott Harris can succeed in achieving honorary membership for us in a few years and make it last for a while. But we’ll almost certainly never be a Big Six team. This is the state of the MLB business model, and if you love baseball played at the highest level, you’ll accept it or you’ll find another sport to follow instead. Quote
