OA549: Greedy Billionaire MLB Owners Stage Lockout

Baseball law! This season is in jeopardy because some crusty, probably racist, billionaires don't want to give up any money. The OA message on sports law has always been loud and clear: side with labor over the owners! Listen in and find out why.
Before that, we've got some delightful updates on the kraken idiots having to pay legal bills!

Holy crap.

I know you don't cover that much foreign news, but I thought you might be interested in the UK Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts bill, which effectively criminalises protest and gives the government rights to shut down speech in opposition to it in unprecedented ways. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jun/22/curbs-on-protests-in-policing-bill-breach-human-rights-laws-mps-and-peers-say Combined with the Nationality and Borders bill, which gives the government the power to strip citizenship from 2nd generation immigrants (people born here, lived here all their lives, but have parents from elsewhere) and criminalises saving drowning people. These are massive assaults on the rights and liberties of the British populace and, I hope, worth a quick mention.

In this episode you speculated about the use of replacement players like happened in the 1994 strike. Would that be allowed in view of the fact that this stoppage is a lockout as opposed to a strike?
