I’d have chosen one of two. Eddings doesn’t buy Pure#$%ski’s $#$%&^, or Aoki doesn’t blindly catch a fall while falling.
The owners are only doing it this way to make it seem like they are trying. They gave a proposal, and will not budge, or worse, just change the deal. The East coast is shut down for the foreseeable future, and without the NY’s and BOS teams, who cares anyway.
The on field rules they set, no going to the mouth, no spitting, will shut down the game anyway. How are they going to enforce rules like that? Saliva is the backbone of the game.
