And if a company fights it, its generally something you want. People are pretty dumb. "I dont want to pay $15 a month for union dues, that's money out of my pocket" is so painful to hear when you realize they're not bothering to listen when people tell them how the union will get them an extra $400 a month to pay for it with.

In 1939 fed min wage was 25 CENTS/hr (about $500/year). DiMaggio's $40k/yr was 80 times the minimum wage. Current fed min wage is $7.25/hr (about $15k/year). 80 times the fed min wage in 2024 ($15k/yr) would be $1.2m/yr. Curt Flood's 1964 $90k/yr was 38 times the fed min wage ATT ($1.15/hr); 38 times 2024 min wage would be $570k/yr. Ohtani's $46m/yr is over 3000 times the current fed min wage.

People who believe major league athletes, specifically the stars/generational players need to stand with their principles/beliefs and not spend a single penny on that sport because they/you are the true problem and the reason those players make so much money. Ohtani is overpaid you say .... Ohtani will bring an additional 1.5 billion profit (honestly likely significantly more) to the Dodgers through ticket sales, jerseys/merchandise sale, food and beverage sales at the games, tv deals and more. Sports is a business for the owners, if you said to any average Joe on the street "hey I'll give you $1000 but you have to give a fraction of that back or else I won't give you anything and we can continue walking our own ways and you'll leave with exact what you have right now" every single person would take you up on the offer. When it comes to the generation talent whether that be Ohtani, Lebron/Antetokou, McDavid/Matthews, Mahomes, Ronaldo/Messi (I could name more) it is easier to argue that they are significantly underpaid then it is to claim they are overpaid; everyone knows who Lebron James is but practically nobody knows you reading this comment or me typing this comment
@chrismac5560
Ай бұрын
If nearly every person in the world boycotted professional sports for years on end then the owners would have no other choice, since revenue would be nearly evaporated losing them millions it would make ticket prices dirt cheap since nobody will buy them, merchandise and concession prices would barely be more than costs since nobody is at the games, athletes would make what they did 100 years ago since the owners aren't making millions/billions off of them, tv deals would be near non existent since the networks make nothing ..... but as long as the mass majority continue to watch games on tv, spend thousands buying tickets going to games and buying food and drink at the game, buying merchandise and so on the owners will continue to make millions and pay their athletes the millions they rightfully deserve

@@JackieDaytona1776 while he didn't directly say it his comment heavily implied it as he used numbers to compare earnings of a star from in 1939 and another player in 1964 with the biggest start in professional sports today. The other conclusion the OP heavily implied without direct saying it is that the wealth difference between the richest in the world and the average Joe has drastically increased over the last 100 years but as I indirectly pointed out that is because we the average Joe's continue to spend our hard earned money on what the richest are offering us whether that be sports tickets/merchandise, overpriced coffee from large corporations like Starbucks, personal entertainment like xbox's or alcohol from large brewing companies like Anheuser-Busch and so on. So no my previous comment was not worthless as the OP would have no need to make the original comment if we wasn't trying to point something out by comparing historic figures to current day

As a father and aspiring author and lifelong baseball fan, the ending of the first sixteen minutes has me in tears every time i watch it. When bartolo Colon retired i became older than every active majorleaguer, though pujols and i were the same age heading into his last season. this made his retirement tributes feel like a changing of an era for me. He and Ichiro were nl/al roy in 2001 so i think of ichiro, pujols and along with colon as being the same baseball age. . Thankfully i can still see guys in commercials portraying the same versions of themselves they portrayed when i was younger. Ken Griffey Jr's smile and manner of speech still reminds me of middle school. I remember thinking his Upper Deck Rookie card was way overvalued for what he had done up until then. He was barely a sprout! How could his rookie card be the most valuable object my 12 year old self had ever held? Inside of a case, in a card shop. Let's just say i'm sentimental and baseball has been so entwined with my whole life, it turns every baseball reference pageof a player who played since 1985 , into a personal memory book if i look hard enough. My baseball sentience first came into being during the royals world series run. I even have memories of the nlcs that year. I remember watching the games with my dad and trying not to be too annoying with my many questions (verbosity is a character trait i developed around that age as well) so that's why ANY attempt to discuss ANYTHING related to baseball turns me into a rambling sentimental fool. 🤎⚾‼❣‼❗❕❕❕❕‼❣

This video is not your typical KZitem info snack. Instead, it is a full, two-hour long documentary that deserves wide circulation. While framed as a baseball video (or should I say, movie?), and it is, it is a fascinating and important look into labor negotiations in the world of professional sports. After watching this, I now have a significantly better understanding of just how and why baseball contracts are so ludicrously high. This is a very good documentary, and well worth the time, even for those who have no interest in baseball (specifically) or sports (generally). Astounding piece of media.

Also I think you did slightly skip over how big both Angelos and Ripken were to the 1994 strike. Angelos made it so the owners never had a united front at all, effectively dooming any actions they wanted to take in retaliation. Ripken was the sword of Damocles hanging over them with his record. Not to mention how, once it ended and everyone was pissed, it was incredible how drastically the mood around baseball changed in September when the chase was nearing the end. And he really was a great face for baseball to use for its "love of the game" image they wanted after the strike. Obviously you couldnt talk about everything so I dont fault you at all just adding an addendum for anyone who wants to look into it. As much as Angelos was (inappropriately) disliked in Baltimore, the man stuck to his principles when it mattered most. Among baseball owners, the only single other instance I can think of someone taking the stance they knew was the right thing to do despite being the lone man in his corner is Branch Rickey. They arent of the same magnitude of course but still, deserves some commendation.

If there is one thing George Steinbrenner was good at it was holding a grudge.
