Hate them all you want, they win

| The thing I don't like about them is that they are taking advantage of the main problem I have with baseball... No salary cap. The amount of money Steinbrenner dumps into that team is ridiculous. If you put a salary cap on baseball, the Yankees would flounder. I guarantee it.

[snapback]98851[/snapback] | I never asked for reasons. I just said saying they "suck" is a joke. They win more then any other team in SPORTS.

[snapback]98850[/snapback] | there is a cap but the thing is, it is a complete joke. when it was instituted, the owners decided to have teams that went over the cap would have to pay a luxury tax. it is somewhere between $40- 50 million every time they go over. the owners never even thought that the yankees would EVER have that much money and or power to pay that kind of fine year in and year out. | |

[snapback]98859[/snapback] | Not criminal at all. They play by the rules and win.
Steinbrenner built up the Yankees into a huge winner.
Not a Yankees fan but I respect them.

| if playing by the rules is taking all of the talent in the major leagues and building a team of all stars, then sure they are. but this is not giving the rest of the league a level playing field. | |

| There is a luxury tax because lower paying teams need money to help stay afloat from the bigger money-making teams.
Whether the Yankees created that problem (which they didn't) or not, what they do is still "legal" and they take advantage of it.
People act as if other teams such as the hypocritical Red Sox don't have ridiculous salaries.....geez

[snapback]98867[/snapback] | i dont think the red sox have a $200 million salary OR did they have an opening day roster of all stars but i may be mistaken on that.
and if what the yankees do is so "legal", then why do they take advantage of it? | |
