How can we support baseball when most players make more than average person in just 3 games?
I am referring especially to baseball, but the same thing for basketball. If someone feels the economic crisis, please explain how you can support this? Minor League is equally entertaining? However, they apologized for the cancellation of the World Series? “Not many of them puff their noses on fair competition through the use of performance enhancers? Did you not feel that it is the year to show they have given their support to both by the withdrawal of this support?

Have you ever watched a movie… They make more money than you..
Have you ever watched tv… They make more money than you
Entertainers in this country compete for your attention and the ones that suceed at that get paid consideibly for that… I hate the why don’t teachers make that kind of money argument…. It’s simple they easily could all you have to do is raise your taxes 3000% since you don’t want to spend money on entertainment it shouldn’t be hard to spend it all for the greater good..
This gives me an idea for a way to shrink the deficit. Lets create an entertainers tax where everyone who in in entertainment or linked to entertainment and earns over $1 mil. a year pays a 50 % income tax with no deductions.
This would inclucde athletes, actors, agents, etc. Since these people all make more than they are really worth, and they don’t need all that money anyway, lets put it to good use.
It would also cut down on all the extra cash that they just use to get into trouble with.
If you are going to take that stance, I hope you will also refuse to go to movies, since the actors make millions and use drugs. Oh, and concerts, and TV, and CDs all support people and lifestyles that you may disagree with.
*Sarcastically* Oh, what a great idea! Let’s stop going to movies, concerts, baseball and basketball games, and let’s not watch TV this year! Sounds like great fun to me!
I guess you’d rather sit and do nothing at home in protest of baseball! If you’re going to protest something, it should be the war in Iraq, which is a rather more serious issue than a ballplayer’s paycheck.
The reason they make so much is BECAUSE people support them. It’s not the other way around.
Sports allow people to take their mind of other “downer” things, so it’s good in that sense.
Performance enhancers are fine by me especially if used for recovery from injuries.
