Mlb Files Suit On Manner Of Exposed Finances: As Cba Approaches Expiration

While the NBA is in peril of losing its entire 2011-2012 season, also over fuzzy math, NBA Commissioner, David Stern claims that 23 of its teams were in the red for the 2010-2011 season, arguably one of its most popular years in its history. The National Basketball League Players Association (NBAPA) believes only eight teams were in the red; again, non-disclosure of accurate figures presides.

 

As noted, MLB is counting on good viewing numbers from the TV ratings following this 2011 World Series. But if it does not keep itself from getting in its own way on many fronts, its fan base will continue to erode. Of note, according to the TV ratings from the 2010 post-season, the age of the average viewer was 52 years old.

 

Finally, unless MLB gets some serious treatment for its myopia, it will continue to conveniently bend reality for its own endeavors of self-entitlement.

 

And that begs the question; will MLB also wind up in lockout mode?
