Question:

When the YES Network was unavailable to all the Yankee fans, everyone was up in arms to the point that Bloomberg got involved and made the 2 sides come to his house and, over breakfast, made them work out a deal.

Where's the support for the Met fans from NYC legislation???

I am afraid to say.. I believe there's a 'win or you're nothing' mentaliity that pervades sports. The media figures that because the Mets are struggling big time, nobody cares. The Mets don't generate good ratings and make a lot of revenue.. or at least not as much as the Yanks do.

If the roles were reveresed and the Mets had won like 4 WS's and made it a couple of other times.. and had an international following as well as their own network.. they would get the same attention. It's all about the money.

The Yanks mean $$$$$.
The Mets mean $$.

That's the problem and it totally sucks.

i dunno too much about what's going on, but DH is P-O'd about this......he can only watch the Mets in Spanish when he is at his bro's house...luckil we have satellite, so we did not lose any channels.

It's a load of cr@p.

Sucks hard. But there ain't much else we can do except just wait it out.

All I am hoping for is when they do reach an agreement... i want the channels put back... and in Hi-Def.
