Opinion | Will Leitch: Let’s enjoy this beautiful game while we can. But let’s not kid ourselves: This is going to get uglier in a year than it just was. - NBCNewsTHINK
Baseball fans have responded to the compromise this week with joy. Do those people look furious at baseball to you? Does baseball look like a sport that has self-destructed? There were naysayers, of course; those who worry that baseball are rushing back to play before it is safe to do so, for financial reasons. And yet, there is something inherently freeing about those simple words, “Play Ball.
But why would either players or owners feel chastened now? The argument each side has always made during times of nastiness is that, eventually, fans will forgive and forget. And keep the money spigot open and flowing. That argument sure looks pretty smart right now, and it’ll look even smarter if the television ratings for baseball games are as high as many suspect they will be. That may cause each side to dig in even more before the December 2021 negotiations.
