         <description><![CDATA[<div>The issue of bad umpiring in the MLB matters deeply, umpires could simply be the main contributor to the downfall of the sport. People who love the MLB could lose the game they love due to something that is such a simple fix. The umpiring is losing this game money.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Once again I hope they start giving out punishments to bad umpires; I do not hope for robotic umpires. Some people say robotic umpires would change the game, and they are right but this change wouldn’t be for the better. I hope to for MLB to squeeze this issue like a bug and dish out penalties for lousy or biased umpires.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Throughout all my extensive research on the umpiring in the MLB I have figured out that the problem isn’t only because of the poor umpiring but the fact that no precautions are being taken and no consequences are being given out. MLB could make this problem so much less critical if they just ad consequences for bad, lousy, or biased umpires. This simple fix could change the viewership and game.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>As an avid baseball player/fan I would hate to see the game I love so much to crumple up right in front of me, and something so simple to ruin it. If baseball becomes less popular then I have less to watch and less competition in my games of playing.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In this video a talk show host talks about umpires are bending rules and being biased on purpose. He prefaces both the fact that it is hard to be an umpire, but also that they do not want to look bad and or want their team to win.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This graphic shows over the past 10 years MLB ratings and viewers are getting worse and worse. As you can see last year’s ratings/viewers rank 50/50 meaning it is the worst. Clearly viewership is getting lost and at root of the umpires.</div>]]></description>
