I used to go to an Oriole game twice a month; but I've been really disappointed with Baseball after the A-rod deal and didn't go to any Baseball games at all this past season.

If this goes on, sports are gonna collapse. Shawn Kemp is getting atleast $10 mil/year now. Kevin Garnett gets $19 million/year and you guys forgot about Michael Schumacher, the highest paid athlete at $37 million/ year.
Ill tell you right now and so will any economics professor..You couldnt spend $10 million if you tryed to. These athletes wipe their asses with hundred dollar bills. A-Rod doesnt even deserve $250 Million for 10 years. And when a new stadium gets built, thats the tax payers money. Our money.
Michael Jordan could have gotten $25 million for this year easily, but as you can see..hes already set for life and all hes gonna make this year from the NBA alone is $1 million.

True, and Michael "Yogi" Stewart from Toronto Raptors is the highest paid bench warmer in the history of NBA - $6 million/season... now which smart ass negotiated that contract (since Stewart gets only 1 minute of playing time per game!),... and now they can't get rid of him, cuz no one wants him and no one wants to pay that ridiculuous amount of m00ney either...
If someone could just let me know who is Stewart's agent, so I can hire the guy to represent me too...

well its obvious that all these salaries are gonna come up soon and bite the owners and players in the ass. if im not mistaken, both the nba's and major league baseball's collective bargining agreements are expiring within the next 5-6 years and if you think the salaries are bad now just wait until then. the only question it will there still be any fans left to watch the games? i think every league(nhl,nba,mlb)needs to put aside there egos and wallets and take a cue from the nlf and work on a salary cap and revenue sharing. thats why unlike the other leagues smaller markets like green bay and cincinati are able to thrive and still do good business.

well it might seem like they are overpaid, but what are they paid for, they are paid to entertain us right, so i would they are only overpaid if they dont entertain very well, vince carter does a good job in basketball therefore entertains us,therefore gets a better salary

Getting paid $10 million a year to entertain other people for 2 hours a day, 3 days a week, and have fun in the process of doing that? Get outta here...

well, these people are getting paid becuase people want to watch them play.. so unless you never watch another sporting in your life, you should probably keep your mouths shut

these guys are paid with multi-million dollar contracts to play a "children's" game. they're getting their big fat pay cuz the fans have to cough it up through jacked up ticket prices.
