I THINK YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS ALL WRONG! ๐ฐโพ๐
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING...
HOW MANY OF YOU FEEL UNDERPAID AT WORK?!
HOW MANY OF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HELP MAKE YOUR COMPANY SUCCESSFUL WHILE THE PEOPLE AT THE TOP KEEP MOST OF THE PROFITS?!
NOW ASK YOURSELF...
WHY ARE YOU CHEERING FOR MLB OWNERS TO HAVE MORE CONTROL OVER WHAT PLAYERS EARN?!
BECAUSE THE PLAYERS ARE MILLIONAIRES?!
THE OWNERS CONTROL BILLION-DOLLAR BUSINESSES!
AND WHO ARE THE FANS PAYING TO WATCH?!
THE PLAYERS!
NOT THE OWNERS!
NOW LISTEN...
I'M ALL FOR COMPETITIVE BALANCE!
I WANT EVERY MLB TEAM TO HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN!
BUT HERE'S THE PROBLEM...
WE SHOULD BE HELPING TEAMS THAT ACTUALLY WANT TO COMPETE!
LOOK AT THE SAN DIEGO PADRES!
YES, I'M GIVING THE PADRES CREDIT! ๐
THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME FINANCIAL POWER AS THE DODGERS, YANKEES, OR METS!
BUT THEY'VE SHOWN A WILLINGNESS TO INVEST IN WINNING!
AND I RESPECT THAT!
THOSE ARE THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT SHOULD BENEFIT FROM A SYSTEM DESIGNED TO HELP TEAMS COMPETE!
NOT OWNERS WHO RECEIVE REVENUE SHARING AND FAIL TO REINVEST ENOUGH INTO THEIR TEAMS!
NOT OWNERS WHO ARE CONTENT TO MAKE MONEY WHILE THEIR FANS WAIT FOR A REAL CHAMPIONSHIP PUSH!
AND NO...
NOT EVERY SMALL-MARKET TEAM IS DOING THAT!
BUT THERE SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABILITY!
IF YOU'RE RECEIVING FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE LEAGUE...
SHOW YOUR FANS THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO WIN!
AND REMEMBER...
A SALARY CAP DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY MEAN COMPETITIVE BALANCE!
WITHOUT SPENDING REQUIREMENTS AND ACCOUNTABILITY, IT CAN SIMPLY LIMIT WHAT PLAYERS EARN!
SO BEFORE YOU SIDE WITH THE OWNERS...
THINK ABOUT THE SAME THINGS YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT IN YOUR OWN WORKPLACE!
WHO CREATES THE VALUE?!
WHO GETS THE REWARDS?!
AND WHO'S ASKING EVERYBODY ELSE TO ACCEPT LESS?!
BASEBALL FANS...
SHOULD MLB FOCUS ON LIMITING PLAYER SALARIES?!
OR HOLDING OWNERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR INVESTING IN THEIR TEAMS?!
LET'S TALK ABOUT IT!
LET'S GO DODGERS! ๐โพ๐ฅ

Owners have already offered a 50/50 (aka even slice) revenue split with their cap proposal as well as a salary floor. You just want bigger markets to have an advantage over the smaller market teams because you probably root for a big market team.

Nobody reading all that. Blame the Dodgers for this; the league needs a cap and salary floor. I donโt give a f about the owners. And stop acting like thereโs some major difference in a guy getting $27 mil/yr vs $30 mil/yr. MLB needs a cap.

heres the thing too ppl dont think in the way ur first point was in this video in wanting other owners that keep the money to spend and put into their team they just hate the teams like yankees and dodgers who want to put that money in there to not put money if that makes sense ( i js woke up from a nap might rewrite ina bit if i have to)

Siding with the billionaire owners because they're jealous and can't stand seeing players making millions.

Well said, as someone who runs a business itโs always about providing a good service to people and getting people results and a return on their investment not just pocketing the money and moving on. Itโs the same with this ๐
