The 2022 MLB season is not going to be starting on time, as the players and league failed to come to an agreement before a deadline set by the owners on Tuesday. Rob Manfred announced as soon as that deadline hit that the first two series for each team will be cancelled and not made up, and that could only be the beginning. This is a crushing moment for the league, and really for the sport in America, and it goes beyond the two sides at the negotiation table. There are many people, from stadium workers to broadcast crew members to bar and restaurant owners surrounding parks, whose lives could be upended if this goes too long, to say nothing of the fans who have dedicated decades to following this sport and now will have to wait indefinitely for it to come back.
The owners don’t care
