Yes, the Minnesota Twins have been a large chunk of my entertainment this summer, but as far as I'm concerned, let the players strike. Go ahead. I think the players have a false sense of where they stand this time around. I know almost nobody who blames the owners this time around. If anything, we blame the players. Yes, the owners are moneygrubbing billionaires, but it's hard to side with a bunch of whiney multi-millionaires. David versus Goliath this ain't.

There's something about mediocre players making $10M a year. There's something about Alex Rodriguez going to the hapless Rangers for $250M instead of going to a contender for considerably less. There's something about the bravado of the players because the players union has never lost. There's just something about Donald Fehr. Go ahead and let them strike. If I'm the owners, I don't give in on this one. In fact, I lock out the players until they give in. If the owners give in again, these skyrocketing payrolls will continue to explode exponentially and we might as well eliminate all but about 4 teams.

You see, if the players go on strike, I, like millions of other Americans, won't give a damn. Football starts the first week in September and I'll be more than content to spend my Sunday afternoons watching the Packers. Yes, the NFL - that league that knows how to handle money. The league where a team from a city of 100,000 (Green Bay) can compete right along side teams from a city of over 7 million. That league where players are well compensated without it becoming too ridiculous. That league where teams are forced to spread their money around to all their players (which only makes sense, since it is a team sport). Yes baseball players, go ahead and strike, because I already have plans.
