I don't see how, they still have their DEI nights.

The NHL got completely rid of their Pride night and invoke no politics at any level.
How is pride night political?
Are you serious?

Did you see the reactions to any hockey player who didn't want to wear the jerseys?

The NHL didn't cancel it because they grew bored with it

The CBA will be negotiated and there will be no lockout.
Fortunately, no serious MLB writer, reporter, owner, etc... agrees with you....anywhere. Not one.

Lockout coming Dec 1 and there are easily 8 owners that will stick together until we have a cap in place.
There will need to more than 8
Wrong. 75% of owners are needed to approve any CBA. 30 teams....8 brings that to over 26%.....which means it fails.

They will need more than eight because there will be to many fence sitters that will change their minds. If a majority of owners want to pass a CBA it will happen. I'm talking 18 to 20. The owners at the bottom of the pecking order will not be able to enforce their will.

Allow me to clarify.
The 2027 season will start on time.
I tend to agree with a short lockout. Question is does it get settled before spring training. But they will get a deal done that will be painful to someone, hopefully not the fans.
