I was hoping for a strike. I can't stand to see Millionaire athleletes bitch with Billionaire owners. They need a cap becuase nowadays the average joe can't take his kids to the game becuase the tickets are to high. I'm sorry but 252mil for a single players is way to much money. They should all make 5mil tops and most should be in the 2mil range

Yeah but even F1 is a entirely diffrent animal. I don't mind as much a driver making big money for a few reasons
1. Autoracing is a very risky sport, look at Zanardi
2. only a few guys will be able to play
3. IN baseball teams can't be sold to go to another city, so with this revenue sharing crap the teams that get 3000 fans a game get to stay. In F1 if the team is not up to par they go bye bye.
4. This is a very technical sport that requires skill outside of being able to throw,hit, and run.
5. the F1 drivers don't pull this collective bargaining crap every 2 years or they will strike.
6. We don't see drivers drugging, drinking, shooting, beating, etc. except this year we did have little wife beater Al unser jr
7. F1 drivers rather look bad and win then look good and loose.
8. baseball players throw thier money in your face with 10 karat diamonds in thier ears while i have to pay $7.50 for a hotdog.
Well i could go on but this is a start. basically i know the F1 drivers are not doing crap with thier cash. As for baseball players that have a 200k car but pay rent on thier home
