NBPA stands with MLBPA as collective-bargaining talks delay season
The National Basketball Players
Association released a statement on Wednesday to show their support
for the Major League Baseball Players Association, who are in the
midst of a lockout as collective-bargaining negotiations
continue.
"NBA players stand with our
brothers at the MLBPA as they fight in collective bargaining for a
more just and equitable system on behalf of current and future
generations of professional baseball players," the statement
reads.
"The MLBPA has a long history of
sacrifice for the common good, and we have no doubt that despite
yesterday's announcement postponing the start of the regular
season, the players and their leadership will work diligently and
thoughtfully toward a fair deal that all baseball fans will
appreciate, regardless of how long the process takes."
The 2022 MLB season
has already been impacted by the lockout, as the first week of
regular-season games have been canceled.
