I know this was not directed at me but it might as well have been.
I abject to any MLB, NFL, NBA .... player getting the huge salaries while the taxpayer is required to pay for their playground. If the owners built their own stadiums and paid for all the associated support services and then had enough money left over to pay these salaries then GREAT.
However, this is not the case. Cities are forced to build stadiums that will for the most part lose money yet the owners and players keep the profits. Great scam if you ask me.
In Buffalo, every 5 years of so we play the team is going to leave if you don't do x,y,z.
I know the topic here is MLB but one of the things that sucks is the NFL refusing to allow the Stuper Bowl to be played in any Northern City without a domed stadium. We support the team, built the facility but are denied the bump to the local economy that a Stuper Bowl can bring.
Drag racing. No labor disputes, no cocaine, no misplaced political activism, just toxic fumes and ground-shaking,bone-rattling excitement watching teams compete for corporate-sponsored jackpots with little to no taxpayer support.
