Baseball's greedy players: Williams vows to boycott major league games if players strike

I quite agree. The wish to be as "stupid" as the players making $2.5 million was a tongue in cheek response to a now customary post in favor of the owners by another poster. I absolutely favor the players and hope they crush the owners as usual.

Correction: Your post was favorable to owners under the circumstances. The players' views aren't stupid. Those views are standard issue union views, augmented by the fact that theirs is the single most successful union that ever was. It is late and I am weary. Sorry.

Your post was favorable to owners under the circumstances.

Well I favor neither. I favor the free market, which means no caps, no revenue sharing, no lux tax. So I think it's wrong to say I favor owners.

My "stupid" comment was about the view held by some players and the union that a strike will help them.

I think we're close to the same page here. If either of us had enough time, we'd get it straight!

Gotta go pay my taxes...

I really don't care if the players are "right" or "wrong" I haven't been to a major league game since 1994 though I still watch some of the playoffs.... I used to love baseball, sadly I have reached the point of hating the players and their union.. I hope they strike and the players stave I hope major league baseball stops until the 11 and 12 year old kids playing today are 21 and MLB can start over again. The golden goose is baseball and the players think that by choking it they can get more eggs. Screw them.

In this era, some people find themselves without jobs, while these baseball players are making hundred's of thousands, if not millions, of dollars (A-Rod). I find it appalling that they are striking because they feel they are not making enough........What would they do if they had no job? Beg on the street corners for money, wearing their thick gold necklaces, and diamond earrings? They want sympathy from me? I lost my job in the travel industry because of what happened on September 11. I am barely getting by right now. These retards want me to give up my hard earned money to watch them prance around in their gold and diamonds and they have the NERVE to say they aren't making enough money??????? HUH??????? I'm sorry, but I never intend to pay MY money to feed their need for another thick gold necklace to parade around in..........they all make me sick......(especially A-Rod, who makes 250 mil) I just have one question for those greedy jerks.............There are people on the streets dying of starvation, and you want more? Makes me sick.
