Sports Need to Change Too

I heard on the radio today from Colin Cowherd that the average Yankees ticket last year was $43. This year in their new stadium it is now $78. Not sure if that includes the thousand or so obstructed view seats. Nice architect. Same deal for the Mets.

On another front, 35 million dollars plus is being spent on a basketball coach for the University of KY. I think that is over 7 years or so. That makes it better, right.

On still another Michael Vick feels he can waltz back into the NFL and command $10 million a year. Are you kidding me? Must be, because the bankruptcy judge wasn't buying either.

The point is that until we get control of ourselves and realize that no one is worth that much money we are in trouble as a culture. All sports are out of cost control and soon no one is going to be able to afford to attend. Let's show some responsibility here, someone, please.
