The article critiques Rob Manfred and John Fisher as they celebrate plans for a new baseball stadium in Las Vegas. It highlights their insensitivity to the negative impact their decisions have had on the sport and its fans, calling attention to their arrogance and refusal to acknowledge the backlash. The author portrays their celebration as an ironic display of obliviousness to the destruction of traditional baseball markets. Ultimately, the piece underscores a future where their actions may lead to their downfall as they continue to pursue this misguided endeavor.
"They are there to celebrate the production of a sign that says a baseball field will be built on a specific site, and they are smiling to celebrate their mutual refusal to consider the evil and greed and stupidity and general imperviousness to failure that they are honoring this day."
"Colonizing Vegas in the way they are attempting to represent here is in no way a victory, or in no way except for their sheer obstinacy."
