I don’t see any reason why the rich fucking cockbag would be pissed at MiLB unionization - it doesn’t cost them a penny, but rather is very useful to them. It’s good PR, happy players more willing to do promotional events, etc.
Other than, of course, they’re opposed on general principles, because rich fucking cockbag.

I swear they seed UofA so high every year just to get an upset like this on purpose. The last time they deserved to be in the tournament was 2005

Point taken. But look, as long as this guy's pissed, I'm happy.

The owners of an affiliated minor league team do not pay the players.
The owners of the parent MLB team do.

this.
the bosses don’t want you to unionize because then they’ll have to treat you like a human and not an object that makes money for their wallets and not your own.

Went to uni there, it's something that mostly only college students say to refer to the locals. It is short for Tucson local as far as I know.

New coach, same March results.
2 years in a row that we’ve looked completely lost in the tournament. Sure we can put this one down due to injuries, but that does excuse the team playing brain-dead sloppy basketball, blowing defensive assignments, and Tubelis once again playing like a timid idiot.
I want to scream.

Went to their game last night and the left fielder caught a fly ball while doing a backflip

> It was EXTREMELY exploitative. And with MLB making billions of dollars, they can certainly afford to pay their employees a living wage.
We have an acquaintance whose family owns a minor league team. Rich fucking cockbags doesn't even begin to describe them. They were so fervently against unioninize because they knew they'd have to — you know — fucking pay people.
Happy for the players, but almost as happy these shitheels didn't get their way. Pay up, you cheap fucks.

> I wish they still played in a league, just for the variety of competition.
If they didn't they wouldn't be as fun. They'd have to play by league rules. No fans catching fouls for an out...no sprinting to second on a walk while every player touches the ball....
