As far as sporting events being at it's cheapest, you must have never been to games in the 80s and 90s. I remember going to damn near every Braves games throughout the 80s for about $15 a pop. For almost dugout seats.
I don't look at the fault being the players wanting more. Who wouldn't. It's the "I'm going home if I don't get my way" mentality that I don't like. I need $80mil a year now because I have 20,000 Ferraris to upkeep. The part that's sad is the people that actually matter in this world getting paid shit, you know? Teachers, police and any other public service member. Hell doctors get good salaries, but they save lives and make millions of dollars less. It's a shame. But that's just how it is now. Later, QD.
