But the comment I was responding to was ignorant and belittled my country's national pasttime. Nobody up here really gives a s*** about baseball, but I would never come on here and say "what's baseball and who cares?"
Dude, there are people here that could give a damn about baseball. You and others need to realize that if someone says something bad about a particular sport, it is not the end of the world. I love football and college football and basketball. If you or others hate those sports, your opinion does not do anything to me. Just like there are people that could give a damn about golf or tennis. Get over it. You are not going to make everyone like or respect the game of hockey here or any place. At least when MLB was on strike this country was ticked off. When the NHL went on their lockout, most of the country did not even realize it was happening. That is just the facts. It is not ignorant to not like a sport.

Peace
