What are you, come kind of Commie?
The Yankees are profitable. What more do you need to know? What matters how much the payroll is?
Next thing you know you'll be criticizing my SUV because it costs to much!
This is a lame response. Hollywood flicks are "profitable" too. From a consumer's point of view, I would much prefer MLB to give me a competitive situation with a level playing field. Selecting teams based on cable contracts and other mundane factors doesnt really do it for me.
MLB has turned the game into a pseudo-sport closer to pro-wrestling than antything else. If that floats your boat, good for you. I am glad you find entertainment in this. As long as you realize with the financial resoruces at your franchise's disposal (compared to that of the other 90% of the league), they should be downright embarrased if they DIDNT win. Yankee championships are about as meaninful as a Harlem Globetrotters game.
For those of us who enjoy sports for the competitiveness, there are far better alternatives. The NFL has it about right.
