I've always been confused about what people are trying to say with the whole "bought championship" argument. Every team spends money on their team and it should be a testament to ownership that the Yankees attempt to complete a championship caliber team year after year. Every owner in baseball, regardless of their attendances, has enough money to field a team just like the Yankees. But the owners don't do it because they're running the teams based on profit margins of an investment. Be mad at your owner, not at George for caring enough to put his own money on the line.
