Our payroll may be less than 50 million this year, what will the Yankees be? Probably over 200. But he built them into this commerical empire, and throws his money back into them. Many other owners don't Most fans, especially those that hate George, would take him in a minutes Are you kidding?!?! He's from Cleveland, and made many millions here. And from what I read, that business went belly up. as their team owner, because he is not cheap and wants to win. He has SO MUCH cable and broadcast TV revenue that he's not spending one red cent of his own money, with these high ticket player additions. Most owners don't spend their own money. He doesnt either. Besides. He built that with no help from the other teams. Why should he have to share it? The NFL was built essentially by the commish in the 1960's. Same with Bird, Majic, and Jordan, in the 1980's. Steinbrenner buil the Yankees himself. Wh should he have to share it? Smell the pasta, Enzo. You guys have a very unfair advantage. MLB needs a hard cap that's similar to the one the NFL uses. (NBA too) I have to remind you, the current CBA, which was approved by every team except the Yankees, was geared only against the yankees, when it was implimented. The Threshold for luxury tax was set so only the Yankees would go over. Would you call that an unfair advantage? Your problem is not the Yankees. It is the small markets and Bud Selig. The lowest payroll teams get all the revenue sharing and luxury tax money, and are not required to spend none of it. SO why would the owner impliment a cap in this league, when that would essentially cap the millions of free money they get from George, and on top of that, be required to spend millions in payroll? There will never be a cap. They love getting free millions, and they love the fact they don't have to spend any of it. The problem is the mid-market teams, like the O's, Rangers, Tribe, who would love to spend revenue sharing, but their payrolls are too high to qualify. Like I said, the Yankees are not the problem.

But when you say he throws 'his money into them' you're talking about media generated funds. That's not money out of his own pocket. The only reason it is tolerated can be explained in two letters.

(hurray for small market baseball fans) -- =A0=A0 Ouch! Hahaha...nah! I was checking out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside when I come across the temps up there. Figured I'd send a pic of the current conditions up that way. I don't watch baseball and haven't been a fan since the seventies, but NY Yankees are all over down here, so are the Toronto Blue Jays. In fact, one of the Yankees came into a business a few doors away and I had no clue who he was. Even after someone told me who he was, his name was more famous to me for dating a few pop icons than for playing baseball. I'll ask the gal who told me who he was, what his name is and get back with you. |
