Let met get this straight:
When a team has a bigoted mascot or name, they get to hang on to it for a year or more before the plug is pulled to compromise with the fans who are used to it. Now the universal DH may be a bargaining chip in 2022 and got installed in 2020 for some reason, MLB and so-called fans still lobby to pull the plug on the century-old NL rules in the last days before Spring Training? C’mon man.
Completely nonsensical comparison of DH and mascots.
