What the sport basically is banking on is that since it's the summer, and this is the "only" major sport going on, that the fans will eventually cave in and come back. They may be right, may be wrong, but that's basically what they want to rely on in terms of fan support in case they strike.
Every time since 1972 that the Players' Union has set a strike date, there's been a strike. If history repeats itself, the strike is inevitable. But there's two weeks left and I think if someone would just cave in then maybe something will happen. All it basically comes down to is the luxury tax.
What a season that would go to waste. The dodgers and Giants competeing for the NL wild card, the Angels actually not being Angel-Like and actually coming through in the clutch part of the season, The Mets...what a disaster.
I'll go back just because I love baseball (and sports in general) so much. But, it comes down to millionaires fighting with billionaires, and most people would think that's somewhat sad.
Ah well, at least there's Major League Soccer lol.
