I understand the average MLB player salary is about 2 million dollars a year.
The team owners want to implement revenue sharing and install a salary cap. Apparently they cannot stop themselves from overspending on player salaries and need these changes.
The players are upset that, if there's a league wide salary cap they won't make as much money. I can see their point. Imagine trying to scrape by on 10 million dollars a year when you could be making 12 million.
I'm not a real baseball guy (more of a NFL, NHL fan) so I could give a ant's *** if they strike.
How clueless are these players anyway? Thousands of Americans have lost their jobs or retirement investments from the crappy economy, the country is still dealing with terrorists and these clowns are whining about not making enough money.
I'm praying they actually strike. I would hope when the strike ends the fans will boycott the games. Of course I know that would never happen as long as there are baseball worshipping lemmings out there.
Your thoughts?
