Because they're are tons of people just like the guy on the MSB who's favorite teams are the Yankees, Lakers, and I think what, UNC? But more importantly their abuse of the market and artificial infaltion of player salaries. How they stole CC last year just made it worse.

ladies and gentlemen, i call this tears of a brewer


but seriously, i actually did a project on this in grad school

if you look at all of their revenue, you can understand why they can do what they do. just the YES network alone is a huge chunk of cash. they bring in so much revenue they can afford to pay out what they do

i personally think steinbrenner is an outstanding person, based solely on the fact that as much money as he makes, he could easily pocket it all and be one of the richest men in america.

instead, he puts the money that he could pocket back into the ball club by purchasing the best players and giving back to the fans

while i think yankee fans are huge pieces of shite, they have it made with an owner who cares about his fans and the product on the field
