High price of baseball?

Question

ok can you plz tell me what is the point of paying men to play a sport millions of dollars? i mean they just play baseball for crying out load. i just think its a little ridiculous that alex rodriguez gets paid $300 million for baseball. hes good but not that good. and then this whole steroid thing is so blown out of proportion. its a quicker way for them to bulk up faster, and play better. who cares? i know that i am gonna get heckled for this but does anyone share my thoughts?

Answer 1

is part of sport in general.... i think is more ridiculous how much golfers get payed considering they play ones a week and they don't do much(in my opinion)......

Answer 2

money-i agree they should play b/c they love the game not b/c they are getting paid $300million, yes they i don't mind them getting paid like normal people but not out of proportion like $300million is way to much

Answer 3

They take steroids like Aroid because of the big paychecks they can get. Its simple economics!

Answer 4

Because it's the MLB.  

Answer 5

It gets me how people complain about the multi-million dollar players but not the multi-billionaire owners, who are such butt heads. Let the players earn what they can. Their careers are short and do you have any notion how much they were crapped on in the first 100 years of the game? Puh-lease. Bud Selig is WAY worse than Alex Rodriguez.

Answer 6

It's called economics.  Supply and demand.  Steroids are illegal.
