am I the only one who cant stand what has become of Football and Baseball?
it aint about the "game" it's about the money.
Would you like some cheese with that?
I don't understand this at all.
Is it about the players money? What would you have them do? Risk life and limb for less than the full value of what they can negotiate?
Is it about the sponsorship money? Recognize that any decrease in this will result in less coverage, merchandising, money to attract talent, etc - for it is really sponsorship money that drives the entire machine known as producing NFL games.
I just don't understand the objection. What do you want? Games for which no one pays or is paid? Events so poorly underwritten that output media is limited?
It sound like a bunch of mewling. If you like stuff done small, go hang around some piss-stinking gummint public school, where everything sucks and is devoid of wealth, talent, purpose, or excellence. If you want something that BLOWS YOU AWAY, accept that money's usually going to be a major part of it.
It's kind of like the Speed Merchant in Mad Max: Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?
I should add, just to credential myself a little, that while my day job is here at Ford Motor (Global Tools and Processes), I am also President of a 501(c)3 in Ann Arbor that produces the annual Ann Arbor City Tennis Tournament. We beg for sponsorship. The more we get in sponsorship, the more we expand our offering and our day-of-events services.
