    Bankruptcies all around please.

    These fucks betrayed the game and abuse fans for personal profit.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    Baseball somehow has been the biggest money-making sport in America for decades. Idk where the money comes from, but they make stupid money for playing ball.

    I love baseball, but regardless, one thing I always found humorous is how a young kid at bat in a crucial time in front of packed stadium going nuts is expected to hit a baseball coming at him at over ninety miles an hour from six feet away while a professional golfer expects perfect silence to hit a stationary ball off a tee

    Of course it is, but comparing the expectations is humorous, especially given the pompous nature of golf “etiquette”

    There's nothing "pompous" of having class!
    They aren't at a stadium with riff raff! They are in the country club!

    You have to be an versatile athlete to excel in baseball, football players can be taught how to play one position and that is all they ever will have to do, only game the offense doesn't play defense, good baseball players are more of a sparse commodity

    Didn't I say "pompous?"

    Golf doesn't emulate class, in most cases, it only implies money, all country clubs aren't St Andrews, in fact, most just the opposite, and golfers are not only the most pampered individuals but also some of the biggest babies

    In some positions! But in football ,finding 32 NFL quality QB's to start is near impossible.

    Big difference with Golf,is it's all on you! Nobody is paying a salary, you have to play good enough to pay the bills!
    Or you could be losing money!
