You have hit on a very important point that far too many just do not get. For the success (or failure) of a local team often sets the mood for the entire community, which touches even those who despise sports. It is for this reason that I hope the St. Louis Cardinals can sign Pujols, but considering their track-record, it is not looking good.<br /><br />By the way, I can't remember the exact numbers, but the combined salaries of Manchester United and Manchester City is three times the highest combined salaries of the two highest teams in our four major sports of baseball, basketball, football and hockey. I believe it was $850 million for the Manchesters while the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox (baseball) were at around $237 million. Mind you, these figures are per year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558279154584900089.post-42442913713280490412011-02-17T05:40:41.721-06:002011-02-17T05:40:41.721-06:00$30 million to play rounders?

It is intere...$30 million to play rounders? Ptah! <br /><br />It is interesting to cogitate (look it up) on what sport of whatever sort means to people. Football (the real stuff) is often called 'war without weapons.' It allows nations to be vehement at one another and then shake hands. Winning or losing any game can however lead to ecstasy or depression! <br /><br />In the US sport is also used to bring a township together, the 'college' games gather strong support in a way school games in the UK never do. Maybe that is a subject to ponder. After all we pay sportsmen vast sums, usually through TV deals, and respond to their success or lack of it with great emotion.Adullamitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537659871829290071noreply@blogger.com
