Some of these people actually paid to watch you, which\u2014baffling as that may be\u2014ought to provide some kind of motivation. Right? Does any of what I\u2019m saying making sense to you? We\u2019re just trying to help here.\u201d Reached for additional comment, Manfred emphasized that while no one actually wanted to watch the White Sox play, that wasn\u2019t the point."}
