Why are they not playing baseball ?

The truth of the matter is that if you broke your ass doing heavy construction as I did, you will call the players greedy bastards. What the hell do these guys want. Half a million or one million is not enough for these guys to bother to play. The hell with them. Send them home and get some new guys. Who needs their shit. Tell the players union to go to hell. Start a new league. Just a bunch of grownup brats.

This sounds like bitterness and jealous talking. Lots of people bust their tails doing hard work but don't think the players are greedy. Especially since the players aren't refusing to play. Why shouldn't the players get as much as they can? Their activities generate billions of dollars in profits - why shouldn't they enjoy a large slice of that?

Let's say in the next 5 years, your company signs on several new contracts for quadruple what they've made in the last 5 years. They don't need more guys, just the same guys to do the same amount of work. They reward you with 2-3% annual raises. Are you happy??
