This is one of the worst non-criminal PR days a team has ever done to themselves. It's amazing.
And it's all self inflicted, which is the amazing thing.

Screw that. I was planning on taking my family to a weekend series this year. Just told my wife we aren't going. Going to start looking at other drivable MLB cities. Might hit up Boston.Originally Posted by Sea Ray

I wish I could find another team, the Reds are just too imprinted in my psyche. Dating back to my youth watching games with my grandpa, I can't turn to another team. But with the path baseball has chosen to go, I just don't care at this point if I watch another inning of MLB baseball. I hate it for guys that I've always cheered for (Votto, Castillo, and a few other MLBers) Teams with the smart franchises will continue to exceed their expectations, teams with huge money will continue to be relevant, and teams like the Reds will continue to be what they've been most of the last 30 years... Dumpster Fires.

"...you can hate on us all you want. We're not going anywhere."
He's right. Take that to heart. He doesn't care if you hate him. He's not selling.
Maybe we can agree that ownership has done a bad job running this show since 2006. Let's accept that and move on
I don't blame you a bit. I had that attitude towards Mike Brown too

They're not good at PR. I agree with you
He reminds me of a character out of a Cassavettes flick or something.

You wanna just do this?
The local media better start asking really tough questions. They are weakened. This the equivalent of a bully hassling you and then you punch him in the face and he gets up and between tears says "That didn't hurt at all, hit me again! I ain't goin nowhere!" and then you go to hit them again and they run away.
Time to ramp up the pressure somehow.

The Athletic is the only hope for this.

You hate on them and they go home to their mansions in Indian Hill "to suffer". They're not weakened. You can't touch 'em. They don't care
They're embarrassed because not everyone recognizes their "birthright" and aren't a bunch of glad handing yes men. The emperor has no clothes and people are starting to call them on it and they have no answer, that's why the ownership has gone so far off the rails and are self-destructing.

If that's the case, they certainly don't need your defense.
