This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I feel terrible for their fans. by usaf_irish

I really do. It’s hard to fault someone for not wanting to go and watch a baseball game in a toilet bowl when everyone else (except Tampa) is playing in either gorgeous new parks or historic parks (except for you White Sox).

But I don’t feel a damn thing for the City of Oakland. They gaslit MLB for years with proposals they knew didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of passing. And while the idea of baseball in Vegas intrigues me, it also pissed me off that another billionaire owner is getting free money instead of having to chip in his fair share.

Whenever anyone says that college sports are getting worse, I only have think of the ownership or professional sports to know it could be worse.
