So... the players are open to having ads/company logos on their uniforms?  Hmmm.  I have an idea...

Do they get benefits during a lockout? Doesn’t effect the mike trouts but those league minimum players are going to get screwed

Players don’t get paid during the offseason. They only make money when there are games being played.

If minor leaguers come out of this being treated like human beings I'm all for it. If it's just a bunch of billionaires and millionaires squabbling, then meh.

It would be a huge shock if only because minor leaguers are not part of the union.  There really isn't anyone there on the player or ownership side to advocate for them.

My hope is that there is some kind of good that comes out of the lock out to make it a better situation.  They announced the housing thing in October didn’t they ? Just seems to me that there’s decent chance there will be a little more change.  It’s not a good look.  That said, you’re right about no one going really directly going to bat for them.  I might be overly optimistic.

A sticker on the side of the helmet is one thing.  If they’re going to put logos on the jerseys I just won’t buy a jersey again.  Not going to pay to be a walking billboard.  Sorry Rob.  I’m not doing that.

Yep the Nike logo is bad enough already

[UndertheHalo]

 Nike makes the jersey so whatever that doesn’t matter to me.  Don’t need and don’t want a United healthcare patch.  No thank you !

In this particular case is the vaccine a vaccine that suppresses opposition to being an unpaid billboard for corporate sponsors ? 

[tdawg87]

Yes

[UndertheHalo]

Then yes.  I am anti that vaccine.

Depends on the logo for me. If they use that old naked chick silhouette that was on those big rig mud flaps back in the day, Id grab a Lorenzen one

 

In red, because I know all you guys hate that one 

[Tank]

On Twitter I’ve seen pictures of guys who buy a new hat and immediately take a razor blade to remove the New Era logo. I’d do the same if teams started putting corporate logos on their hats or jerseys. 
 

I hate that advertising has been pushed on us so heavily in sports. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Manfred is the nerd who hated sports in high school and always wanted to stick it to the jocks. Tony Clark is the jock who banged chicks while the school got someone to take his tests for him.

It’s a timeless struggle, and in the end it’s the fans who lose. These idiots are going to fuck things up so bad.
