I Remember When Athletes Played Sports

 Okay,  okay  … this is for all you who keep trying to talk to me about Toronto’s sports teams.

Anyone who knows me knows that I refuse to put a single dollar into the bank accounts of these ridiculously overpaid teams.

I do not care about the Blue Leafs.
I do not care about the Maple Jay’s.
I do not care about the Raptornauts.

I think that paying players millions upon millions to play a sport has done nothing except make it so the average Toronto resident cannot afford to attend a game.

If they manage to scrape together enough to purchase a ticket then they are usually the cheapest seats. The ‘nosebleed’ sections.

Why don’t we take all those millions and pay the staff of our hospitals a decent salary?

The kitchen and housekeeping staff are grossly underpaid.

Our nurses and their aids are not being paid enough.

It is absolutely ridiculous to pay a ball player 54 million over 4 years.

These teams are no longer playing a sport.

If they were they would win once in a while.

They are millionaires whether they win or lose.

They are playing a money game.

The greed has stolen the sportsmanship.

Plain and simple
