ATTENTION EDITORS: REPEATING WITH ADDITIONAL CAPTION INFORMATION - Adam Eidinger, a protestor against funding for a new baseball stadium in Washington, is grabbed by team officials before a ceremony unveiling the new Washington DC Major League Baseball team logo and name for the 'Washington Nationals' in the Union Station, November 22, 2004. The Nationals moniker has served two other Washington franchises during the 1800's and during the first-half of the 20th Century. Eidinger, who is not opposed to having a team in Washington, is against public financing to build the stadium. REUTERS/Larry Downing

Brawling in sports is contagious... even when the team hasn't even moved yet!

"Eidinger, who is not opposed to having a team in Washington, is against public financing to build the stadium."


Too funny. If they didn`t build the stadium for this team , they wouldn`t have moved the team there.... This team is owned by MLB !! They no doubt have the money to build their own stadium but why would they do that? Washington got their baseball team, but they had to pay for it somehow. I guess they should have just got the team for free......

Its bad enough taxpayers have to subsidize the welfare state. Its completely disgusting and morally offensive that taxpayers have to fund somebody else's entertainment.

Taxpayers don't "have to" subsidize any of this. Campaign against it, vote against it, and if it doesn't go your way, move.

Yep, and Washington got the worst enterprise to deal with. The owners ( Major League Baseball ) don`t care if this team wins or losses. As long as it makes money. They will get an All-Star game very soon though, you can bet on that.

I think a person's overall agenda often reflects the state of their minds/souls. Consequently, their appearance will often become unkept too. However, I think the more dangerous ones are the ones who blend in and/or remain hidden.
