The products don't understand what they're selling (or are desperate for Blackrock money). They continue to alienate fans by continually injecting ESG propaganda into the product, when most fans I know use it as an escape from all that inane bullshit.



haha very much agree here. Baseball fans are probably one of the more conservative/older fan bases in sports and the leagues tilt towards ESG is quite baffling from a business perspective. I think they are trying to be more relevant again to younger fans by embracing stuff like this but could see it backfiring by alienating a whole generation and another with a strike on the horizon. Going back to the strike back in the 90's that really mad alot folks mad and set the stage for a large percentage of its fanbase to leave and some of which never came back.
