Sports

From a CNN report, “Harper has his record deal, with the $330 million topping the $325 million Giancarlo Stanton got in his November 2014 pact with the Miami Marlins. The Phillies have their star, the type of player they absolutely had to sign after owner John Middleton began the offseason promising to spend ‘stupid’ money.” Well, I guess if you want to understand where the priorities and interests of a stupid citizenry reside, then look no further than the sports page. This country bitches about not enough money for universal healthcare, underemployment, homelessness, child poverty, etc., but morons of America are willing to pay more money than they can afford for tickets to a sporting event that pays their players tens to hundreds of millions of dollars. Hey morons: sports stars will not fix society’s problems, but you pay them as if they do. This is truly stupid f***ing America. Greed over everything is the rule, not the exception!
