ABSTRACT:
Questionnaires investigated the attitudes of a one-percent sample of Tampa, Florida residents towards the 1972 strike by major league baseball players. The basic variable used in the study was involvement in baseball. This measure was achieved by ascertaining the degree of knowledge of player affiliation in the two leagues. Respondents were divided at the median on involvement, and profiles of the high-and-low-involved respondents are presented on several attitudinal dimensions. Included among these were: legitimacy of the players' action, rights of owners in the conflict, adequacy of player salaries, and unionization of sports. The most significant implication of the study was that the public seemed to support neither the players nor the owners, but were concerned with the future of the sport.
