Two weeks ago, I wrote here about reports that Major League Baseball had no plans to lift TV blackouts if the 2020 season were to be played.
Now, we have a MLB season, scheduled to begin July 23 or 24, if the COVID-19 pandemic permits, and it might not. We’ll see what happens in the interim.
I’m writing this article to plead with the folks who run MLB. If there are games, team owners and Commissioner Rob Manfred, please, please lift all TV blackouts.
There are a number of reasons to do so. First, the angry bickering between owners and players over the last month has turned a lot of fans off to baseball.
