Baseball Sucks. Well, it's official, the players of Major League Baseball have decided to set a strike date of August 30th. What a bunch of idiots. Apparently they haven't noticed that attendance for the game is already down. I am sure that a work stoppage (or just the threat of one) is going to increase everyone's desire to shell out more money to the poor underpaid whiners. I find it somewhat
amusing that Baseball has 2 definitions of the word strike. They
Is it just me or is an average salary of 2.5 millions dollars a pretty far cry from poor working conditions. I wouldn't say that really justifies protesting for higher pay. I am a lifetime die-hard baseball fan. I have watched and played the game since I could walk. This type of greed is not what the sport about. You could learn a lot about baseball by watching Little League. The players listen to their coaches and each other. If the team needs a sacrifice fly or bunt you won't hear any complaints. It's a team sport after all. The point I am trying to make is the the players of MLB have in inflated view of their value to the game. They are not irreplaceable. A new league can be built, or other leagues can be watched. I would just as easily pay 3 bucks to go watch the local Collegiate Baseball Team play as I would tune in to watch the Sox and the Yankees. The game will survive. But I have a feeling that it will never be the same again, at least at the pro level. I sincerely hope that the current players are looking into some good correspondence schools. They never deserve to play the game again. |
