    Completely agree! It's really quite simple.

    OK, players and management are getting too much money. The prices of advertising, tv,seats, everything goes up when the players get 100's of million dollars. That is more money than anyone can spend in a lifetime. Do you think buying a coke from the vendors is worth $10? It all mushrooms!

    I have never understood this take. we live in a capitalist society. the players are actually getting paid less than they deserve because of the luxury tax. It is like when people complained that Jordan was making 30+ MM a year. he was worth 100's of MM a year due to the profits he was making for the ownership.

    The owners can charge whatever they want for Sodas, beer, hot dogs, seats, parking, whatever. when the price gets too expensive, people will stop paying and the prices will go down.

    maybe it is that the prices are too high for your tastes? I know they are for mine, that is why I havent been to a live sporting event since 2007.

    Keep in mind. there are only around 600 people ON EARTH that have the talent to fill a spot on an MLB roster. only the top 25% of those 600 can be considered high level/star players. thats what, 150 people ON EARTH. that is why they are worth 20-45 MM per year. supply and demand.

    Stupid owners and greedy players are the reason for those high salary's. Multi billionaire owners who don't know what to do with all their money and just want to win world series don't care about the rising costs associated with what they are doing as they can afford it. Screw everybody else !!!

    I would like to see Freddie Freeman playing the part originally played by Janet Jackson and maybe Jorge Soler in the Tupac Shakkur role.

    I love Regina King and she looks great so she can play herself…

    Curious about the rare, mysterious and beautiful 1951 Wheaties Premium Photos?

    I understand that if the Braves win the series the victory parade will be held in Denver.

    😂😂😂

    Metro counties school systems taking Friday off for parade issues and absenteeism. Wifey got the day off so no teaching and I'll apparently have a telework babysitter.

    While you couldn't pay me to be downtown for the parade, one of my coworkers is on the Coke red bus in the parade. GO BRAVES!!!!
