The I.R.S. takes your money and gives it to people you may not support. Hard for you to understand, Larry?

Larry many of these players have agents who handle their contracts. You can't stand unions because unions stand up to administrators or to owners who break emloyment law. If people are playing by the rules why worry about the union, unless of course you have something to hide. Good unions also side with administrators, if employees are in the wrong rather then waste everyones time and money. Unions furnish attorney's to represent employees something you know little about. Just keep listening to Rush, he will guide you.

It's the owners fault on the big contracts,I have yet to see a gun put to the owners heads to sign the contracts!Why don't the owners get together and say we are not going to pay big money any more?

Get rid of unions and this country would be a better place! Lets go back to child labor, 14 hrs a day work, no holiday pay, no overtime , health benefits and pensions. Lets get rid of the Chamber Of Commerce and AMA ( doctors assoication) as well and give all our money to the rich people. I'm sure we'll be all better off in the long run. At least we'll have our pride, standing on the street corner begging for scraps. Yup, unions are our down fall!!!

Oncwe again the most powerful union in america rears its ugly head! Get rid of unions and this country would be a better place! The unions in these sports are killing them. Football will have an uncapped year coming up and you are going to see a huge downswing in salaries! Baseball is the only sport where you get guaranteed money and until the owners tell the players there will be no more guaranteed money this is how the sport of baseball will work.

Yes, it is kind of interesting that most who "kick and scream" about the CEO's will come out and defend the money made by professional sports, movie stars, musicians, ect.

One way or another we all kick in.We all buy products from sponsors that advertise on tv.Its added in to price of cable and sattlelite tv.Seasons get longer to pay salarys.Can't blame the players but none of them are worth what they get paid.Then they all want free stadiums to play in.Why don,t they invest there own money in there profession?
