Professional sport team owners have one thing in mind: winning. Winning at any cost. Sometimes it does not really matter if they win fairly or unfairly as long as they win. Money is never an object, not when the owners are billionaires and millions spent really don't put a dent in their coffers.
They can afford to "buy" any player at any cost as long as they believe they have the best. A few days ago I read this report: Mets sign shortstop Francisco Lindor to massive 10-year, $341 million extension, according to report. The New York Mets have reached an agreement on a long-term extension with shortstop Francisco Lindor worth roughly $340 million.
Now, who the hell is this guy to worth such an astronomical amount of money? Did he invent the cure for cancer? Did he find the cure for the coronavirus? Did he find the cure for the common cold? Did he find the cure for Altzheimer? Is he a world renown scientist who works for the betterment of people? Does he have several PHDs?
None of the above and none of anything that is worthwhile and has to do with society..
He is a Puerto Rico born baseball player whos only talent is that he can hit the ball! I am sure he can also spit far.To me baseball players are disgusting. All they do is chew like cows, then spit. No other athletes do this. Because they always spit where they stand their dugouts must look like pigsties. I don't understand the need to be like this.
In the 1960s the Mets were one of the worst teams in the league. Yet, their popularity was huge. I don't think they spent such unbelievable amount of money on any player, they tried to do with what they had. They trained harder and eventually they played better. But today the owners are impatient. If they lose today, tomorrow they must win otherwise good bye manager.
They are constantly trading players. A guy may play in one team but by the time the game is over he might find that he was traded to another team.
Anyway, in my opinion $340 million for ten years, that is $34 million per year is immoral! Nobody in this world is worth that much! Certainly not a basaball player!
