Baseball fans upset about lockout have found one way to make their displeasure known
Fans have sat by helplessly as the Major League Baseball lockout has wiped out spring training games and threatened the start of the regular season.
With little recourse, some have tried to send a message by canceling their MLB.TV subscriptions.
The service renews automatically on Feb. 28, but MLB.TV said it was holding off on taking money from fans while there is no guarantee of baseball games actually being played. Ditto for the audio subscriptions.
“Update on #MLBTV and MLB Audio subscription renewals: we will not bill for 2022 subscriptions today,” MLB.TV tweeted Monday. “Notification about renewal will occur once a new CBA is in effect. All current subscriptions will remain active until then. Subscribers, check your email for important updates.”
Many fans already dropped the service because of the lockout and the league’s stringent blackout restrictions. If you want to cancel your subscription, here is information on how to do it.
Here is what fans were saying.
