omg Money and salary

[jeninflorida]

omg, who can afford to attend a Yankees game? good for Sabathia's...I'm gonna ask my boss for a raise! lol

Flexing the economic muscle of a new billion-dollar ballpark and ignoring industrywide nervousness over big-money deals, New York agreed Wednesday to the framework of a $161 million, seven-year contract with Sabathia.

Sabathia's contract figure seems quite appropriate -- in February the Yankees move across 161st Street in the Bronx to their monumental $1.3 billion palace, where tickets cost up to $2,500, fans can watch games at a martini bar and the clubhouse contains a swimming pool, hot tub and every imaginable convenience.

Why is it that people get so upset about a CEO salary but care less about what some of these professional athletes are earning per year? Personally, I think people are being hypocrites!

K-Rod is about to get $37 million...people need to be just as upset as this as the pay for fred...fanny...GM....why do we have double standards?

what does it cost to attend a baseball game today? where do most teams earn income from tickets or TV? with the drop in advertising, can baseball afford to pay these salaries? (and its all sports in general)

has anyone watched MTV cribs? when you see how some of these people live...does anyone have issues ripping a CD instead of paying for it?

When I see someone dumping a bottle of Crystal on the floor….why should I give them $15.95 for his or her CD?

just something to think about!

happy hump day!
