There’s enough division in America already, and many baseball fans don’t want to concern themselves with the roiling division inside the sport they love.
That’s understandable. We’re all exhausted. It’s tiring constantly arguing online with people about issues like politics, vaccines, race, masks, and whether or not we’re contributing anything positive to society by constantly tweeting our daily Wordles.
People want sports and, in this case, baseball, to be an escape from all that.
It is for those reasons why, with regard to MLB’s current labor strife, many fans don’t feel anything for either side. Earlier this week, I saw a tweet from a fan in response to someone else that said the following:
