tbimm Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 The worst part is that even if you win the lottery for say 200 Million this guy will still have made more than you at the end of his career. All for playing a GAME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pure capitalism, in this case A Rod is worth exactly what people are willing to pay to see him, which is alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see a major shift in people's interest in sports decline significantly and see salaries plummet...you know, to $10 million a year or so... Oddly, even though hockey seems to be wavering, they still pay their guys a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimC Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 This reminds me of the Chris Rock (I think it was Chris Rock) joke...it was originally Shaquille O'Neil. A Rod is rich. The guy that signs A Rod's check is wealthy. Then he went off on how they buy rims instead of investing or saving it. :lmao: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
