Huh. I thought that’s what the OWNERS were called.

Unless the owner is someone like John Fisher or Daniel Snyder.

And the owners treat the gullible ‘fans’ like the proverbial goose which laid the golden egg(s), PLUS, when that is NOT enough, the owners get the city’s administration to further soak the public, through taxation.NOT ONE CENT of tax money should to be used to build, support, or pay for ANY athletic facility, or athletic position, be it high school, college, or professional.Let those who support/attend these events PAY ALL the costs for their infatuation with their ‘heroes’.

Sports writers don’t mention how much an owner is worth.

I don’t really care for the teams. I just like watching the action and the chaos that ensues during the games.

“The owners will always be with the home team”…wonder how that’s playing in Oakland?

The most famous of those being the “Empty Suit” in the Commissioner’s Office.

It’s because the owners are running a business and most people following the sport can basically understand that.

They also see the players as people playing a game for money… the same game they may have played as kids.

I doubt that applies to people named Snyder or Wilpon.

The owners are always wrong. (What was the question?)

It’s also because, as John Steinbeck observed, Americans do not see themselves as workers, but as “embarrassed millionaires” who just know they’ll be rich one day (despite the entirety of society set up to prevent that from happening)

Fanatics.com has a 90 day jersey guarantee. If you buy a jersey, game worn or replica, for a player and that player changes teams via trade or free agency within 90 days of purchase, you can exchange it for their new team jersey free of charge. I’m not sure who pays for shipping the old jersey back, but is seems like a good deal. With free agency and trades it’s more like you root for laundry rather than players.

I love watching several sports, but hate the business of them. It’s hard to favor either side in the millionaires-vs-billionaires world of modern sports.

There are 2 reasons. One, most of the athletes are black and owners white, and too many people side with white people over black people regardless of the facts or reality. Two, the working class has been trained by the billionaire class to fight over that one cookie out of the dozen while the owners take the 11. There wasn’t a single millionaire or billionaire that was an essential worker. Stop supporting billionaires, unionize, and eliminate the Republican Party before we end up with Feudalism again which is what the billionaires want btw.

Nobody liked Walter O’Malley no matter HOW long he was with the DOdgers.
