Sometimes I feel like athletes and celebrities are moving more and more towards burning their own houses down without even realizing it. MLB negotiations are utterly dysfunctional right now and they seem to have forgotten the lessons of 1994. If the NBA doesn’t restart, they will also lose a lot of money (all of them - not just owners). And if Hollywood takes the entire police/detective storyline out of their productions, what will that do to Hollywood revenues? Of course everyone can be socially conscious and lobby for change, but when you stop producing product nobody gets paid. In the end, I think money forces resolution.
