I love baseball, partly because I do enjoy numbers and baseball is full of numbers. However the PC police now trying to damper this sport as well. I have no words, people are way to soft these days......

That is so stupid.
Although I bet Bert Blyleven will keep calling it the disabled list. He won't let some stupid pansy rule change stop him from calling it like it is.

If they can bitch about it....they will. They already pressured the Indian's to drop the "Chief Wahoo" logo. The entire sport is going to shit to be honest. We got players that want 10 year contracts for 400 million dollars....Uhhh...NO! I love baseball as it's my favorite sport, but money and greed and the like is simply ruining it. I think they are looking at a significant strike situation coming soon as well. Just like in a lot of sports we got millionaires playing a game owned by billionaires... and the bitch'n and greed and the "Oh, poor me" is just a bunch of crap. the average person can't afford to take the kids to the game anymore...between ticket prices and the stupid prices for concessions and the like. It will cost you a small family vacation!

Best thing for city and states to do is to stop paying for all these huge stadiums and tax breaks. Make the owner's and clubs pay for everything themselves. All of it.

The cities make big money off of the taxes the secondary businesses bring in. Most stadiums I have been to the area around them are pretty nice and I know the city is making bank from that perspective. So it's all about the business side of it. Most cities also charge a tax on the players for the income they earn while playing in that particular city as well.
My issue is....ain't nobody worth a million dollars....NOBODY! Much less someone to play a game!! We spend all this money on sports, while our Justice, Educational, and even Social sectors lack funding. Where is the priority? We got ball players that spend more money on hookers and blow in a weekend then what a school teacher makes in a year! Don't get me wrong...I'm not about socialism....I'm not. But we got a lot of money tied up in the wrong places....and the country as a whole is suffering because of it.
You want a wall...Get Lebron, or Kershaw, or Aaron Rodgers to build it for you! They got PLENTY of money to do it!

They did a study on the new Vegas stadium and said the city will never get close to all the money they put into it. |
