MLB - $$

[jaxstatealum]

Am I the only one who finds it disturbing that the economy is reportedly in the tank YET the pro baseball folks find it in their hearts to give one player 161 million to play a GAME xrolleyesx

Who's covering that salary - ultimately the fans. Who by the way don't have jobs because of the economy so how in the heck are they going to afford the tickets and concessions xnonono2x

When does it end...

It's ends when the economic problem hits the Yankees and they have another mediocre season bringing fewer fans to the games.

If the fans can't/don't pay for the tickets and concessions, then it will stop. The low-to-middle-class fan may be priced out in some instances, but attendance overall has still been strong.
