These sports contracts are beyond insane nowadays. The guy hits a fricken baseball good, that should barely be worth 6 figures.
I'm baffled why anyone goes to games, buys merchandise or supports this madness. Its not like sports would disappear if athletes didn't get paid millions and millions of dollars.

Agree.. That's why I Stopped going to most of these games.
Use to have season Tickets for the Yanks, Gave that up when the price kept going up and the Food & Drink prices did too.
Went to a few games here and there, but you need a Good $200 Plus the price of the Tickets. Not that I don't have it to spend, but I can sit in my living room with a 42" Flat screen , have Home Cooking or Take out and Enjoy is at Home.
This Sports have gone Crazy and is a HUGE Business Model. The Owners Get Rich and the Players get Richer. The Fans ?? they get to go home with Empty Pockets.

only thing i buy is a cheap jersey or shirt for my team so i can where it for big games and parties. But i agree the money they make is insane they get paid to stay in shape and have fun it should be worth a well paying job 100-300k for the best but these guys money checks are what middle class people take home in a decade yet were the idiots who spend ridiculously money going to the game at the game and after the game worthless.
