The ongoing lockout in Major League Baseball is proving to be a curse on the game of baseball. Notably, even after three months, the owners and the players’ union haven’t moved an inch from their stand. Therefore, as a result, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has canceled league games for the next season.

It’s no secret that the owners and players, both, were in favor of not delaying the regular season. But, since the players’ union didn’t accept the owners’ final proposal for the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, the lockout will continue.

Earlier on Tuesday, when Manfred announced the cancelation of league games, not only the baseball fans but many players also trolled and criticized him for damaging the season.

Fans and players target MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred for delaying the season

The financial fight between the owners and players has now cost a number of league games. And even now, there are no certainties regarding the start of the next season. Notably, this is the very first time in the last 27 years that MLB owners had to cancel regular-season games, in order to get the new CBA deal done.

With the three-month lockout, fans and players were already in frustration. And now when MLB Commissioner Manfred announced the cancelation of league games, baseball fans and players blasted all over him.

Baseball fans blamed Manfred for destroying the game of baseball. While some even said that he is the worst thing that happened to the sport.
