Fox Sports to add virtual crowds to MLB ballparks - Pay to watch literal NPCs enjoy a game because you have to stay home

“Computer generated fans in a baseball stadium”

It kind of reminds me of this

Under appreciated baseball game by the way

MLB players are probably all going to be sporting BLM (convenient anagram) crap. They'll kneel for the national anthem and twerk for {random rap song}. I hope the lack of attendance chokes hundreds of millions of dollars out of them.

^--- draft from hours earlier.

That's right, get on your knees you whimpering simpering punks.

"It was before the anthem! They only sucked the dicks of an illegitimate marxist anti-white anti-American terrorists organization during a moment silence, it's totally cool."

That makes me want to fucking bite someone in the throat.

I grew up watching and playing baseball in the post 9-11 world. It was my life as a kid. Dad playing ball with me and my brother till daylight was gone. Watching the Royals win the pennant, then the World Series the next year.... so many happy memories. Baseball was often my escape from the then-burgeoning Clown World.

Now I can't even have that. Even with Jackie Robinson's number universally retired and him having a day dedicated to #WeAreAll42, well-deserved recognition of Negro Leagues players and their talent in spite of segregation, and players of every race, color and creed....

IT'S STILL NOT FUCKING ENOUGH FOR THESE BOLSHEVIK SONS OF WHORES!!!!

Why do you care? Why does taking a knee during pregame warmups which you would otherwise not have paid any attention to upset you? If you're part of the military, I get it, they take that stuff very seriously and I've seen people on military bases, even out of uniform, literally drop what they're doing to stand at attention and salute when the anthem plays, but if you're part of the other 99.999% of the US population, why does it bother you?

When you're at home watching a game and the anthem is playing pregame, do you stand with your hand over your heart? Or do you just go get some snacks like everyone else?

This is unprecedented in baseball. There are things that need to be kept separate from politics. Sportsball is one of them.

No, I was not in the military, but my grandfather and great uncle were. My great uncle was killed by Nazis in the Battle of the Bulge, and my Grandpa was wounded by a ChiCom in Korea.

My father and I were almost never born because of Communist expansion. Seeing one of my favorite forms of Bread and Circus kowtow to the very same Communists is a damned insult. And it's even more of a damned insult that, if I object to it, I get labeled as the very same Nazis that killed a blood relative of mine.

I'm fucking done with sports. I hope the sportsball commissioners, owners, coaches, and players all remember what Good Allies they were to the rage mob as they're being guillotined.

Watched 2 clips on ESPN. Eaton and Stanton home runs with the piped in sound. Couldn't tell no fans by the sound.

Oh geez your gonna make the boomers mad with this one. Im sorry, I get patriotism and all that, and every generation in my family has had someone serve, but Jesus Christ, they are kneeling during a song. You guys act like the people you make fun of over a fucking song.

Yeah it's strange with the phantom crowd noise, its scary good sometimes during pop ups.

Taking a knee during the national anthem over the issue of police brutality isn't kowtowing to communists. Unless being anti-authoritarian is inherently communist in your eyes, which is something that I think anyone who has had family suffer under communism (like we apparently both have) would find ludicrous.

No, don't think so. He talks a lot about wielding swords and whipping bankers, but nothing about cheeks that I can recall.

MLB has more action ("in play" content) than the NFL with fewer commercials and roughly the same broadcast time per game. The NFL has just filled up the dead time with commercials to such an extent that they had to introduce mandatory breaks specifically to show commercials. I cannot buy that people would repeatedly watch ads saying "buy a Ford, you pussy. You don't want to buy a Ford? What are you, a bitch?" for 2 full hours to get literally 11 minutes of actual football, but somehow it still happens.

Football has just done a flawless job of selling everyone on their gimmick. Any moment of dead time in the other sports (baseball/basketball/hockey) is a cardinal sin. But if the NFL takes a literal tv timeout, it's all good.

This approach revolutionized soccer since the 1994 World Cup was the first time people scare score tickers on the top.
