And yet the upper tier of corporate executives make hundreds of millions more than the upper tier athletes will ever realize. All the while, two of the major sporting leagues are subjected to SALARY CAPS. {Funny metaphor here: Baseball, which has no salary cap - gives the fans [read: citizens] the same thing over and over - Yankee championships. Seems fair to the other teams and fans, eh?}
Ticket takers.......... are you referring to the fans? Wouldn't the fans be the proverbial equivilent of the citizens to the corporations? You should be thinking of the pine riders, assistant coaches, water boys and janitors if you would like to maintain your strawman comparison.
Not sure if you were trying to discount the original idea or what, but ....... thanks....... I guess.:confused::confused:
