  1. Yes, and the fans will even pay more than they did before.
  2. And what are the fans doing for themselves? No matter what happens the fans will go running back with open arms.
  3. I would agree with bringing up the bottom of the salary scale, and taking some off the top, but you know that those at the top would never go for that.
  4. If there is not a max salary then why does there have to be a min salary of say $1M? Just asking for a different point of view?
  5. I don’t think there would have been an MLB as a business without the regular players just like there wouldn’t be an MLB as a business without the owners. That’s the way I look at it. Just a point of view that I don’t say is right, or wrong.
  6. I have said repeatedly that I don’t have sympathy for either side, and I spend more time targeting the players, because most on here seem to be on their side, which they are pampered, and hero worshipped enough.
  7. Nothing wrong with that either. I never said it didn’t go both ways.
  8. There is lots of more important jobs out there that get nowhere near the money that these guys get to play a kids game top 800, or not.
  9. And what’s wrong with that?
  10. That’s how it works that you have to be good enough.
  11. Survive yes, but most would probably not be millionaires.
  12. It doesn’t matter to me why the ticket prices keep going up. Both sides are greedy, and I’m not all that needy.
  13. Billionaires, and millionaires involved in a game. It’s the principle of the thing that ticket prices keep rising. Me not having gone to Fenway in 20 years has nothing to do with it, and even I had a free pass I would still complain about ticket prices. It WON’T go back, because the fans will keep on paying no matter how high prices go. Boston ranks where in ticket prices?
  14. Nobody said the did, but the point being that owners could survive without baseball, but could the players?
  15. Yes, but that doesn’t mean anyone has to like it. I could care less how much the owners, or players make in the long run, but I do care when ticket prices keep going up, and up, and up. Where do the Red Sox rank in ticket prices?
  16. Of course the owners need the players to conduct their baseball business, but they have other business to fall back on, where the players don’t.
  17. There is nothing wrong with players trying to get as much money as they can just like anyone else, and I never said there was, but if they don’t like what they get then you either play, or don’t. I think the players need the owners more than the other way around. The owners already have businesses.
  18. Thanks for your permission.
  19. Yes it’s their livelihood, but they work for someone. It’s not the other way around.
  20. Couldn’t of said this any better myself. Well written.
  21. It’s not their right to do that?
  22. I’m all for that too. Like I have stated before I have no sympathy for either side. The owners do already invest though in different enterprises.
  23. There is something wrong with that?
  24. Not in the big scheme of things, and I’ll say it again if they don’t like what they are paid just like with any job let them find a new one.
  25. Like I’ve said many times that if the players don’t like what they are getting paid let them find another job out in the real word.
