I think one detracts from the other. Negotiations with the season at risk is like watching Philippe Petit.

I'm liking Baseball Civil War III

ESports you're a hero.

But we wouldn't be complaining that a player wasn't be paid enough. He's only getting seven million!! The team is making too much money, give him nine million! The Sox took a player from Pittsburgh? Damn, now they won't be as competitive. I wish we wouldn't do that.

I'm guessing two weeks after this deal is done we stop caring about any of these issues.

Which market are you thinking of? If you use the local market the player is in then a player in New York or Los Angeles might be worth more than if the same player played in Cincinnati or Minneapolis. Nationally it probably doesn't matter.

Is there an equivalency between sports? Baseball players have a very long season with lots of games, football much less. Shouldn't baseball players be the highest paid athletes in any sport? Or is it the physical nature of football? Profits for the teams? Maybe each sport is so different we shouldn't compare?

Unless they calculate it gets votes in the midterm.

I'm planning an April Fools prank of announcing the end of the lockout.

Unless MLB makes huge concessions I'm fine with this dragging on. I hope the players don't feel any pressure to settle.

With fuel prices skyrocketing now would be a nice time for student loan forgiveness. Help recent college grads.

How much are you thinking their MiLB payroll is? Front office staff? Coaching staffs at each level?

Another school shooting. Des Moines, Iowa. Are we numb to them yet? Just another day in America.

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind. Does that make me crazy?

Neither side will give up anything without getting something in return.

I'm a little surprised that items like larger bases and robo ump is in the CBA. It doesn't directly relate to compensation. I guess working conditions. I'm intrigued with the one up for division winners. Actually I would have rejected it as crazy if MLB proposed it, but since it's the players, I'm interested.

Real American genius.

Interesting way to send aid directly to Ukrainians. Airbnb has dropped all fees so if you book a stay in Ukraine the money goes directly and completely to the owner.

It's a technicality but it wasn't "parked" there, they owned stock in that bank. Large investment groups like that will diversify and not keep all of their holdings in the US. I'll bet they have investments across the globe. Banking and financial services is usually a safe investment. It's like owning JPM.

It was obvious in February investments in Russian would be at high risk. So I don't think it's that crazy they sold. I'm certain there is a common advisor in Kentucky pushing that investment. I even applaud investments like this in a belief that mutual financial destruction keeps the peace between countries. But when it gets laid out like this it seems wrong. I also noticed one of my international funds dropped about 30% last week so I have no doubt I probably had a not chosen by me investment there. And I upped my investments in the energy sector. It didn't take a genius or inside knowledge. I got in VTOL at around $32. I wish I had more to invest.

Exactly. But every generation does because they are superior to everyone that came before them. "We don't need to know anything you tried because you're old idiots. We're doing it this new way". And the cycle repeats. World War 1 was over 100 years ago. We are many generations past that. The insanity you speak of has been passed down for centuries. I'm certain your generation will finally get it right and end the insanity.

Also proving the earlier point about old people should not be in charge. Russia blocked Facebook in their country. Lol no one under 60 uses it.

See it's proof boomers shouldn't be in charge, we can't calculate. And quickly declining.

They were shouting down with the establishment!! They're all squares, man!! Your kids will be frustrated by you. What you are saying isn't new.

Yep. Millennials in college are at their peak. Anything after that and they are declining quickly. By sixty they will be idiots not fit to run the world. And the cycle will repeat. Boomers thought the same thing about the previous generation.
