The statist comments are the ones coming from idiots who insist on taxpayers funding minor league farm teams for multibillion dollar professional sports franchises who, like MLB, should be paying for these systems from their own profits.

There's nothing wrong with intramural sports in college. Professional college sports teams full of criminals and morons pretending to be students shouldn't exist.

One of the benefits from MLB’s system is that it’s hard to be a spoiled superstar mouthbreather who is idolized by all the fans when you are playing 2nd base for the Richmond Flying Squirrels or the Altoona Curve travelling by bus. You might be a mouthbreather but no one is generally idolizing you.

Also, dads are much more important in baseball where repletion is required to hone the baseball skillset more so than pure athletic ability. So I think maybe there is less chance of extreme jerkitude being fostered before you make it to the highest level.
