Leon is entitled to his view of course. But penalizing an entire sport because of what players did a generation ago? Men who are now in their 60s? You have soured on the sport because of that. I just don't get it.
Oakland As run into the ground by ownership . . . with an assist from the city. I read today that this poverty franchise was valued at 3 BILLION. And people are sour that a player is making 100 Million?

And Fisher's reward for running the team into the ground is $380 million from the Nevada taxpayers. At least the players earn their money...
