Free Agency destroyed MLB baseball.

[rightwinger]

That was the worst thing to ever happen to baseball was when the asshole owners brought free agency into the game in 1973. It used to be growing up i always got excited about the home opener.Back then EVERY team had as much of a shot at the world series as the next guy. But these days because of it,every year,you dont know half the players on your team if you are one of the smaller markets.

Back then,i ALWAYS knew the players from the other team that i was going out to see and that always made it a fun experience knowing a certain team had a group of players you were looking forward to see. Now these days,you dont know the majority of the players on the other team as well as not knowing at least half the players on your OWN team every new year.

Back then it would have been unheard of for Johnny cuoto after being in the reds organization for just four years to jump ship for another team so quickly or joe jacoby doing the same thing after only four years with the red sox going to the yankees. people like ted williams and carl yastremski must be rolling over their graves right now seeing how players now dont appreciate what it means to play for the red sox,

teams like the reds,padres,pirates,twins,and many other small market teams,they will never have the chance to be in the world series again because of fucking free agency. free agency needs to be abolished.

I wanted to ask your opinion of the Las Vegas hockey team making it to the Stanley Cup finals.

That makes it look like maybe they should have an nfl team. They must have enough fans to support a competitive team.

Or is hockey different because they don’t pay hockey players over the top money like nfl teams do. Maybe they can’t compete in the nfl like they are in hockey?

Vegas Black Knights still amaze me

The hockey support is great however, it is a new franchise and that builds a base and now with a Stanley Cup looming, I wonder how long it can be sustained. I'll be heading to Las Vegas this winter to watch the Golden Knights and if the Raiders make it to Vegas I'll get tickets to fly there and watch them also.

From what I hear they DONT have the fans to support them in NHL and you know what? that does not surprise me in the LEAST even with their success.LOL

I know a couple of people who live in Vegas and not surprising they say the same thing always happens in those games that is happening with the chargers in LA and when the Rams were in st louis "other than the warner/faulk years when they were great" where because Vegas is a transient city with a lot of people that have moved there from cold weather cities,they tell me that just as i figured,the opposing teams crowds usually outnumber the home team crowds,the best they usually have is sometimes it resembles the superbowl where it is a neautral site 50/50. The Raiders would suffer the same fate no home field advantage.

I guess this owner of the Hockey team is the complete opposite of that clown moron Mark Davis.He must be a genius.He obviously spent most the day hours on end with his scouts scouting and recruiting the players as he did to build a great talented team as they obviously did. Unlike Davis,it appears he is an owner committed to winning. Even with all that winning though because Vegas is a transient city,it did not seem to make a difference in home field advantage.Not a bit surprising in the LEAST.LOL

I said what is happening with the chargers in LA with their horrible fan support there thats what would happen to them and i also said thats what would happen with a professional sports team as well in vegas.

This is a team that was a CHAMPION no less and yet they did not draw well with HOME fans.LOL wait till the city has to deal with a joke franchise clown owner who needs a map to find his way home to his house from a raiders game and is a complete loser that has ran that team into the ground the last decade what the turnout for those games are.

as always because of fucking free agency,low market teams like minnesota,pittsburgh,cincinatti,oakland and cincinatti have no shot at the playoffs this year or in the future.sad that these cities have to count on their football teams to do well to be in the playoffs now.

Before free agency, small market teams seldom won

Over 17,000 season ticket holders. That leaves under 1500 tickets for anyone else including visiting teams. Check that stays out. Attendance 103% of capacity, 4th in the NHL. Get a brain and learn to use it.

True, however many teams have big business buy the tickets and use them as comps, the crowds seemed to be very pro Vegas when I watched the games.
