Why is everyone crying about the Yankees having a lot of money? -

We live in a free market where people who earn more money have more to spend, and they buy more things. Why do you want to make baseball Communist?|::::|I agree you can spend the money if you have it, but this is baseball. This is not comparable to real hard working jobs that people suffer through to make maybe 20 to 40 thousand dollars a year. The problem people have with the Yankees is that they go far beyond what is necessary. They do things just to spite other teams and to rub it in. People have a problem with the other big money teams as well but the Yanks take it to another level. It s why people hate the big greedy corporations who rip off customers and hurt the economy with their overspending and reckless business practices. The Yankees and many of their fans are well known for their arrogance and rudeness. There should be a salary cap, not to punish the Yankees, but to even out the playing field a little bit and give other teams at least an opportunity to compete. Many Yankee fans think it always comes down to jealousy, but it s much more than just that. Like I said, the problem with the Yanks is more of how they do things and people are just getting tired of the financial disparity in baseball.|::::|Ok answer me this, not one week ago, MOST Red Sox and Angels fans were so stoked because they thought they had a chance at signing Teix. Saying that he would be such an upgrade for their team. Blah blah blah, the whole nine yards. Now, when the Yankees, miss the playoffs last year, need to get younger, fill 2 100 rbi guys in the lineup, and a huge void at 1B, you Yankees haters all have to get all pissy, bi.tc.hy and whine about it. The Yankees need to build another young solid core for the upcoming generation and decade. Now with Teixiera we re set for another 5 years, because lets be honest, Jeter, Posada, Mariano, Damon, Pettite(if the Yanks resign him), and Matsui are on the downslide of their careers and signing Teixeira and CC, and the key products in the yankees farm system, the Yankees will still be legitimate contenders in the playoffs for the next decade. The Red Sox(Lowrie, Beckett, Pedroia, Papelbon, Youk, Ellsbury, etc.) and Rays(Crawford, Upton, Longoria, Price, Garza, Kazmir) have a great young core, that the Yankees will need to compete against in the future so signing Teixeira was the right thing to do. And lets be thankful the Angels didn t sign him, because if we d have face them in the playoffs, well, we all know the Angels have the Yankees number in the postseason Had this been the Angels or Red Sox, Nationals or Orioles signing Teixeira no one would ve complained about the heavy spending so shut it Yankees haters, the Yankees have the money so they spend it. What do you want them to do sit on it?|::::|The problem is in the local tv contract they have with the Yes network that produces multiple times the income that other markets produce. This local income is not shared with other teams as the national tv contract is. This creates an unfair monetary advantage for the Yankees. It takes two teams to put on a show. Let s see the Yankees collect that revenue if the opposing team refuses to play.|::::|i m not a yankees fan but i think they should do whatever they want to do with their money. my question is where are they getting all this money from to spend 423 million on 3 people? maybe from the people they cut and whatever, but it still doesn t make sense. just because they re spending all this money doesn t mean they ll win the AL East.|::::|because look at it this way. compare a new york team to a team that doesn t have a lot of money. you think that s fair? and look at the ******* economy dude. i don t want people spending money on a ******* baseball player. put that **** into a soup kitchen during these times, jesus.|::::|If the MLB gets a salary cap be prepared for a under .500 season.|::::|They are crying because their team does not have deep pockets. But you are right. They pack in the fans, get more revenue and so deserve the money they have.|::::|yeah whats the problem with spending money.Thats like telling a tall basketball player to play on his knees it like telling michel phelps to do the doggy patle|::::|idk but i just saw on a news website that the new stadium they have opening up is selling the yankees tickets for 25 cents to the first game there.|::::|It is just ridiculous to question a teams spending when they earned that money.|::::|Uh oh, you are going to get reported by some upset bandwagon red sox fans.
