Talk all you want about the $$$, but at the end of the day any sports fan would LOVE to have GS as their teams owner.
He does what other owners dont. Put money BACK into the team instead of INTO his pocket. He isnt breaking any rules, and there are other owners with more money than George and the same TV contracts and same great fans, who decide instead to profit rather than win. The money argument is old, and its tired.
That l/u is sick though. Cano was 3rd in the batting title race and batting 9th!!! YIKES
You don't think Steinbrenner makes money? It's just the monster of the New York City market that generates so much revenue that he can both make and spend money. The Yankees have their own network, for goodness sakes.
And they have a new stadium all planned out, so you know they are only going to make more money.
And people need to stop saying that "it's his money, he gets to spend it however he wants." He is driving up the salary of baseball players because he overpays on so many players (A-Rod, Jeter, and Giambi are the 3 highest paid baseball players). What does that mean? It means the Royals are going to keep losing 100 games a season with their below average players. Steinbrenner really needs to cut back and stop breaking the balance of the game.
