I don’t think people were rooting against it. However we had the Marlins and Cards make the playoffs after their players violated the protocols. Screwed up other team schedules and yet they paid no penalty for it. They should have forfeited those games.
I was rooting against it. I still think a 60 game season was dumb. I think it was dumb that the Cards and Marlins didn't get penalized for breaking rules.
But mostly I hate it because it deprived the Nats of their victory lap.
