LOL. You're confused. You said the Yankees "abuse the system". All I did was try to find out what the hell you are talking about. Turns out you were just expressing your feelings, which I must admit are hard to quantify. I had assumed there might be a fact lurking in there somewhere. Silly me.
and the business side, which I wasn't even talking about
LOL. (you really make me laugh) .More confusion. You talk about payrolls, what players the Yankees sign, how much money they should spend, and yet you don't think you are talking about the "business side"? You really are confused.
but what the hey, if the Yankees can make a profit with a $300 million payroll...great...but remind me again, why should I care?
I don't remember reminding you in the first place. You sure do seem to care what the Yankees do. You tell me why. Second thought, don't. I don't really care.
No, not really...you're the one going off on tangents. I was referring to salaries, but not profits, hence my 'business side' statement. Look, if you're going to ignore my points, throw up strawmen, hang on false dichotomies...don't bother, I'm not biting. I never even advocated a salary cap.
If a team, any team, can outspend everyone else and still rake it in, that's great...I'll respect the management skills and the good fortune of being in the right place...that is entirely different than the team's performance. Such a team is in a no-win situation...if they win, well they were expected to, so no big deal...if they lose, they're a joke. Do you see where I'm going with this (probably not)? Back to my original point...
