BASEBALL STRIKE? FANS TO STRIKE BACK
I don't think these baseball owners and players realize just how stupid they are looking right now. Or maybe they don't care. A strike date of August 30 has been set and it looks like all the hard work the Dodgers and Angels have done to set themselves up to play in the playoffs will all go for naught. There probably will not be any playoffs this year, no World Series, no baseball on the first anniversary of Sept. 11.
And why? Because they are a bunch of greedy people who can't decide how to split all the millions and millions of dollars that are coming to them. Bill Plaschke of the L.A. Times said it best when he said: "[The players] will abandon a game in which the average player makes $2.4 million per year for sweating an average of 2.4 hours per day."
Can you imagine what any of us would do if we got a job that paid us anywhere near $2.4 million per year? I know one thing is for sure, I'd never go on strike!
But if they strike, that's it! I'm boycotting baseball ... and I'm not coming back.
