Brainstorming session: When baseball finally does return, should furious fans stage an insurrection?

As of today, the baseball season is in jeopardy. If the owners and players don't settle soon - like, within days - opening day will be canceled. 

Apparently, they think they can screw-over the national populace, without consequences - and that fans will simply return and pretend nothing happened. 

These people are fools.

Over the last two years, America has received a crash course in civil disobedience and creative rioting. After the owners and players are done wrecking the game, it will be time for the fans to register their disgust. 

Questions for debate:   

How close can a Tampa to NYC truck blockade get to Yankee Stadium? (Within honking distance, hopefully.)

Where should we erect the gallows? (We'll call it "The Joey Gallo.") 

Should we change River Avenue to Live Fans Matter Plaza? (Or Marvin Miller Street.)

Which of the bars will we occupy? (Answer: All of them.) 

Who wants to paint his face, wear a horns headdress, and go as the IT IS HIGH Shaman? (Alphonso, that's you.)

Smearing feces on walls... yes or no?

I say we leave Monument Park as is. (No need to involve Mickey in this.)  

Someone needs to set up a secret cache of weaponry: Hockey horns, party poppers, puke towels, kegs, pennant flags to burn, etc. 

Who's doing the t-shirts?

This is not over. It's the bottom of the first.

Please, no shit on the walls. Let's stay on the right side of good hygiene.

Otherwise, anything goes.

The state of New York has not won a championship among the four major professional sports in a decade, its longest drought in 100 years (basically the history of organized pro sports).
