All the teams in all sports will have to offer discounts to get fans to come back.  Even after it’s safe.

Definitely.  This is a rounding error in that calculus, which is part of why it's weird.  You're screwing over some guys in their late teens and early 20s for the sake of negotiating positioning with a union in which they're not even members.  It's not primarily a fan issue. 

Agreed.  People still buy Nike products...like this is gonna bother them?

Agreed again.  Just stating my personal perspective.


Retreating from milb markets isn’t exactly going to help a sport increasingly dependent on a small subset of greying fans grow

And this as well.
