MLB screwed itself with lack of simple, affordable, local TV coverage. Interest in game is low and youth participation is down.
The new rules, faster games and new playoff format are keeping me around but I hope the coverage improves.
But, if you don't follow, why do you have a MLB subscription?

Data from the University of Wisconsin-Madison shows 70% of the labor on the state’s dairy farms comes from undocumented immigrants, and after ICE conducted a raid two weeks ago in Manitowoc, dairy farms have felt the impact with workers too scared to show up.

Manitowoc County farmers concerned about ICE raids after 24 undocumented immigrants were arrested by ICE
So far, ICE hasn’t targeted any farms, at least in northeast Wisconsin, but that hasn’t alleviated the concern.
