The scary part is the Yankees made over a billion this year as an organization, yet still lost money. That needs to be toned down. Then again, a lot of sports leagues have gotten crazy with money, even if they do put caps in. It's absurd all around.
I was under the impression that Steinbrenner was rolling in it. That stadium is sold out every game isn't it?
Don't take my comments as an attack on you, im just sick of the 'hate the Yankees' bit.
Part of my deal is the fact that the media makes such a big deal about them and only them. So I blame the media. I think I've heard of other teams who are dishing out big $$$, but still not close to the Yankees payroll.
Few years ago, it was in the news that the Redskins were passing out the big bucks even with the cap, and they ended up doing average, and that made me happy that year. I can't remember exactly what the whole story was, though.
I'm a NY Rangers fan. Sorta. Don't have an ability to watch them now, but they were the team I liked since I was younger. (I liked their logo and everything.) Been a slight fan ever since. Followed them alot in the 90s, especially during their exciting '94 cup win. I was a bit disappointed to find out they had a high payroll (from what I read years ago,) but I still root for them. (And they're still pretty bad.) Hoping this year will be better. Been a good start so far.
Baseball's the sport I follow the least. Though that was probably pretty obvious when I made that
completely incorrect statement.
