But the way you keep glorifying this as an example of capitalism at work is really horse shit. Today I thought, we're subsidizing Kobe Bryant's $30 million salaray with taxpayer money, and paying peanuts to kids we send to Iraq and Afghanistan to get ripped apart. A crazy connection I know, but both professions are paid out of the public purse. This makes me want to have nothing to do with professional sports. The U.S.A. has become a freak show. Worse than Augustan Rome by far.
