Well it certainly looks that way. But I disagree with you completely.
It seems to me that if the owners dont want to pay such terrible
high salaries, they should do what any other buisnessman does; offer
less money. If this means you got to put a leash on George Steinbrenner (sp?)
and Terrible Ted, so be it. On the other side of the coin, the players
pension fund demands do seem a mite unreasonable considering the average
salary these days. Somehow this isnt a very satisfying thing to argue about.
