I meant it was no one person's game, I thought that was clear. But in reality, it is the owner's game, and just like Wal-Mart, we are customers. It's actually not the fan's game lol, so I'm kind of glad you made that point. It's only up to us whether or not we choose to shop here.
Well, I don't even need more info...based on what we've been told FOR ME it's pointless. Not something I would ever ask for...I'm not saying it's the end of the world, shouldn't happen, etc, but it's just not what I watch baseball for. I don't think that's a "strong response"...it's just an honest one.

I disagree about the game not being the fan's game, however. In some ways you are correct...but at the end of the day if people suddenly stopped caring about baseball, MLB would cease to exist as we know it and the owners/players wouldn't matter one bit.

Look, it will be interesting to see what they roll out...if something like this brings in one fan, then great. At least it raises money for a good cause.
