What Ruined Sports? Free Agency or Expansion?

[The Duke of Earl]

Are you crazy? You want one team buying up all the good players every year?

I don't think there is anything wrong with football.

the salary cap is to keep players from having a peice of the pie in the big picture of things.....................whats wrong with sports ? the fans

^^^what do you mean? pro athletes are rich as fuck. a lot of them are rich enough to make a few other people rich and still be rich as fuck. what do you mean they dont get a piece of the pie? I would love to have a piece of a piece of a piece of the pie they got.

 

[XxtraMannish]

oh yeah and I aint one of them folks that thinks athletes are overpaid. they probably generate 10x the revenue that they get paid, so i dont see nothin wrong with that.

 

[fodewada]

they need to make it a base salary for all players of all sports and then performance incentives individual and team that way you the player are really earning your paycheck and the sport product is alot better

The Fans? WTF? If it wasn't for fans, there wouldn't be any sports. You make no sense.

We (American society) have placed too much value on sports. The importance of them in our life has grown to the point that we spend billions of dollars on the industry, we place more significance on big game days than actual holidays (MLK Day for instance) and we fuel the ego's of athlete's by paying them exorbitant salaries and treating them as though they are Gods. All of this combined provides for the environment in sports that we have today.

Plus, there are too many distractions and the line betwen sports and entertainment has been blurred. Pro athlete's want to be rappers, actors, and everything else but that which they intially became famous for (their sport). If they spent as much time trying to improve their games as they did with all this off field bullshit we'd see some better players and games.

T.O., I don't give a fuck about your next end zone dance or anyone else's for that matter. Act like you've scored a touchdown.

Kobe, you stole Tiger's fist pump and Michael's demeanor and speech pattern. Come up with your own shit (I know this has nothing to do with his game).

If the League wasn't deplete of good defenders we wouldn't see a ridiculous 81 point game. Get some heart, toughness and some motherfuckin' meaness in you. Quit trying to be buddy buddy with your opponents. Take it back to the 60's, 70's, 80's and before then.

And stop referring to yourselves in the third person. That shit is played and corny.

This is a great thread. I wish EDJ would contribute his thoughts.

I THINK IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THE PLAYERS. FIRST OF ALL, THERE IS A DECLINE IN TALENTED PLAYERS ENTERING ALL PRO SPORTS. THE LEAGUES ARE EXPANDING AND THE TALENT IS RUNNING THIN. NEXT, PLAYERS AREN'T LOYAL ANYMORE. PEOPLE GET GOOD AND THEN BOUNCE OUT ON THEIR TEAM WHO DRAFTED THEM AND MADE THEM WHO THEY ARE FOR MORE MONEY. ALOT OF PRO STARS TODAY HAVE BAD ATTITUDES AND DON'T CARRY THEMSELVES IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER.

I agree. Also they get paid too much $. Also you have to change up the rules because you would have the Yankee's in every sport, not that is has helped them recently.
