In the US, baseball is the big sport, and here our players earn only a measly $414,000 MINIMUM salary. Those are guys that get called up from the Minor League because someone got injured. Top players earn $25 Million a year!bfitzgerald wrote:Might be just me but some of those football players do seem on rather high wages. In some cases quite obscene some of the salaries for the top players.
A few years ago, our St. Louis Cardinals said they needed a new stadium, but couldn't afford the $150 million tab. The team is owned by Billionaires. However, if the city and county would be so kind as to force the taxpayers to cough up the money, they would take the old stadium down and put up a $150 million office park!
Of course, our politicians, having failed 8th grade math, couldn't figure out that anyone with $150 million to spend on an office park also had that amount to spend on a staduim, if they wanted to, said "Sure thing!"
I gave up on sports when people who play a game for a living went on strike because they don't have enough millions to waste.
