They ran off a big part of their audience 25 years ago or so. That hurt baseball a lot, I know I am not the only lifelong fan they lost then. You would think they would have learned a little from what happened to the NFL. Get woke, go broke. They already lost a metric ton of money with the part of the season that has been cancelled due to the Kung Flu, yet they still insist on stepping on their dicks some more.
Guys playing the sport? It is not a sport, it is a business, they are selling a product, this is not selling anything. I guess it is selling marxism maybe, BLM is more Beetches Like Marxism than it is about Black anything. What do you find creative about the logo they stenciled on the mound? Is it because MLB backwards is BLM? That is more a coincidence I would say.
You have to give a rat's ass about something to get wound up about it, wouldn't you agree? Ambivalence is just not going to make that happen. When it starts costing them money, we will see how woke they really are.

Who's the 'woke' one?
"Oh, I used to enjoy watching sport, but now I won't because someone on the news told me that someone did something, and I should be mad about it, and therefore I'll be mad and never watch it again!" I know someone who can put a ring through your nose so it's easier to have other people lead you around.
As for the ORIGINAL QUESTION, I enjoy quiet baseball. I used to like to go to the Cactus league games because not only could I see the Cubs/Sox for $4 and sit 2 rows behind 3rd plate, I could hear the players interacting, there's lots of chatter and communication going on during a game, and it adds to the event. like when they mic a driver in a race, you get a deeper sense of what's going on and why. I expect that if you went to an afternoon game in the 50s, when it was all local businessmen in suits, it was probably a quiet event then.
