I agree with you. I think its ridiculous when players go on strike because they only make $1.5 million...I agree completely with you 360....Its does seem ridiclous but I guess thats a price we normal people pay...you know? I say normal because we arent big time ball players you know?

Thanks to all the ignorant neanderthals that balk at minor tax raises that would benefit teachers or other regular working-class-joe's but then go lay down $200 for a few ballpark tickets, food and drinks for their insipid family, there will always be "professional athletes" crying about their millions and regular folks cleaning up your trash for minimum wage and not uttering a single complaint.
Hail free market economy.

Sports players careers are considerably shorter than the average 'Office' type career. I'm not saying that athletes deserve the ridiculous gobs of cash they earn but this is a factor to consider.

My brother wants to go NFL because it's hundreds of thousands of dollars a year even if you only ever sit on the bench... He might have a shot, he got really upset with me when I told him he was too small to be a pro football player... he's 6'7" 310 lbs... But he's my LITTLE brother

I think baseball is in for a rude awakening when season ticket renewals are due.
By the way, my company laid off 10% of the workforce last week. Lost lots of good, smart people.
