Anyone else see the irony in this?
Yeah, I do. Sam needs to check on Tiger Wood's charitable work. This gives almost as good as he gets. His charities touch millions of children, just for starters.
I sort of agree with Sam about the Yankees tickets. They aren't running a charity. Besides when was the last time the Yankees didn't sell out a game?
If Woods makes twice what he made last year next year, great. It just bugs me that a person that is the benficiary of the modern sports system want to play "friend of the little guy" with something that he has no control over.
Yeah, it bugs me too that someone with star power would say anything to help kids.
Its absolutely a crime what Yankees are doing.Locking out the average joe who is their best fan.They are trying to cater to the coperate type big whigs who may buy a box or a group of seats and never show up.And when they do bring themselves,they're with clients who never watch the game.They just sit there and talk business and shuffle contract papers between themselves.I've seen it first hand at many stadiums and arenas.This sport is NO longer for the blue collar working man and his family !!!! End of Anti Steinbrenner rant !
Right. But name the Yankees fan that is satisfied with a .500 team finishing in 3rd place. They're not any. All Yankees fans want Steinbrenner to raid other team's rosters and outspend everyone else. All Yankees fans feel they deserve to win the WS EVERY year because they wear pinstripes. Fine. So be it. You demand excellence it's gonna cost you.Its absolutely a crime what Yankees are doing.Locking out the average joe who is their best fan.They are trying to cater to the coperate type big whigs who may buy a box or a group of seats and never show up.And when they do bring themselves,they're with clients who never watch the game.They just sit there and talk business and shuffle contract papers between themselves.I've seen it first hand at many stadiums and arenas.This sport is NO longer for the blue collar working man and his family !!!!

But this is not a Anti-Yankee thing as much as it is on ALL major professional franchises thing. Yeah, you can go to a minor league game...but you want to see YOUR team....and if MY team is the Florida Marlins....going to watch the Jupiter Hammerheads is not the same. And yes folks, I understand it's a business and the owners are in it to make money....but don't fool/trick/mislead fans by saying you 'still produce the best valube in family entertainment....' because truth be told, you DO specifically cater to corporate America and the well-to-do....
If you cant afford the game watch it on tv. When enough people cant afford it then the prices will come down.
No.....they will move the team to another city.
