Are you kidding me?

I am a big sports fan but sometimes I find it ridiculous of how much the athletes get payed. In the offseason the New York Yankees have spent $1.3 billion on a new stadium and $424 million on only three players! Are you kidding me? Something isn't right here. I think it's good to be competitive on a professional level and you want to bring a championship to your city. The Yankees are signing some great athletes and they seem to year after year because they want a championship so badly but you would hope they would do something different because they have seemed to choke the past couple of seasons. The average salary that managers and other clubs spend on a team is $220 million. It blows me away to think that with the way the economy is these guys are getting payed this much to throw and hit a ball.

I may sound bitter that I am not getting payed to play sports but I am not. I just have never heard of so much money being spent on one athlete. It will be interesting to see what kind of season the Yankees have with all of their money. Who knows? This is my random thought for the day. Have a good one. Peace out.
