After this All-Star game move and now aligning with Tencent (CCP), I am really DONE with MLB. I have been a huge fan since 1960 (showing my age). I played baseball and softball up until I was in my late 50s. I have my MLB team's season and WS memories. Now seeing they bow down to a communist nation instead of being Patriotic America who pays their gaudy salaries, I am more than done. It was a good ride while it lasted. Your demise is on the horizon when fans walk away.

Previous MLB fan here.... and yes, we HAVE walked away.
No more MLB. No tickets, no watching games, no merchandise... nothing. They are done.
To be fair when you dump baseball entirely, you're only dumping five more minutes of actual sports action per game than people who watch the whole thing.
No lie. To stay awake for part 2 of a doubleheader in StL I used my stopwatch function to record when they were actually playing the ball, not jogging back and forth to the dugout, massaging the ball prior to each pitch, having mound conferences, scratching, etc.
We all laughed when it was five minutes.
Already emailed MLB and told them iI was out and am burning my Colorado Rockies sport shirts. I'm done with them and coke and the airlines etc.
I guess they gots to do what they gots to do after robbing the public of billions of taxpayer dollars to build those fucking stadiums all over the country.
I quit following the game about 4 years ago thanks to our local garbage, welfare recipient owner. It is now dead to me. Fuck that league and may it collapse into hell. Unfuckingbelievable that they'd cave to the DS over this fucking bullshit temper tantrum by white liberals.
Same.
BLM was enough for me. Can’t add any additional boycott!
yes mlb pissed me off with blm, but I saw many players not buying into it, so I kept watching. It was a mistake to do so.
We really do need to bleed celebrity incomes dry.
I stopped caring about MLB when they went on strike in the 90s(?). As a child, I knew that was BS. Never looked back since.
Time to end spectatorship and get in the game.
I love baseball Been a fan most of my life, but those days are over.
Great memories that’s for sure but I’ve been done for the last 2 years now. It’s obvious they hate me and my family.
Never gave a shit about baseball... So no tears here.
Same! Try to pick up tickets at Will-Call! Dumb shits!
Baseball is a beautiful game. MLB however, is a piece of shit.
Football was/is the sport I love.
High school and college are fine (in most cases).
The NFL can stick it up the wazoo.
Just cleaned all my Tigers gear out, fuckin done son.
Another sport to walk away from. Did realize my 2 weeks to flatten the curve would be 13 months later telling all them to fuck off. Sport, movies, corporations, governments and puppet politicians.
once the blackouts started happening and it became so expensive to watch baseball I stopped. easiest boycott ever.
I saved enough to pay for a nice motorcycle by shit canning Comcast altogether
I'm glad I grew up in the 90s to see Ken Griffey Jr and The Big Unit. Those guys were really something to watch.
I never liked watching the grass grow and men grab their crotches while spitting tobacco juice while standing around waiting for something to happen.
Giving up the MLB is gonna be hard, but I'll just have to bite the bullet.
I had purchased mlb.tv for the season cancelled the minute I saw them pull the all star game. Not going back. It is sad, my son plays HS baseball and we enjoy watching games together, but I cannot support these traitors.
Glad you are leaving i was an nba nfl watcher...i feels good now looking back wasting time watching...when i can be doing....good riddance trash sports
CLE changing their name had me walking. Now I’m sprinting away
Parks in my area restrict it to 13 years or younger which is pretty sad
