"Two years ago, Michigan's then-Gov. Jennifer Granholm described automakers as 'a healthcare provider that happened to make cars.' For a generation now, baseball has been a highly leveraged real estate urban development plan in which men happen to play a game. Now, young fans are disconnected from the game, and a franchise such as the Dodgers, with all its history and dazzling brilliance, is in receivership. The L.A. Chamber of Commerce has worried that in a worst-case scenario, the team would leave Los Angeles. Although this might provoke cheers in Brooklyn, it would be a tragedy for the game."
In the Los Angeles Times, Dave Zirin argues that the Dodgers should become like the Green Bay Packers.
