After the 3rd inning of the Pirates home game vs. the Washington Nationals tomorrow, there is a scheduled walkout by Pirates fans to protest the team's horrible record... And FSN and MASN (Mid-Atlantic Sports Network), the rights holders, have said in advance they would refuse to cover any of the live action. Only in press conferences will they give it airtime.
From Pittsburgh Post Gazette: Walkout by Pirates fans gets blacked out
C'mon, baseball is boring, and its viewership is fading. This would at least give the sport some much needed attention, and help goad the Pirates' management into action.
