Gordon Wittenmyer actually thinks Forbes magazines declaration for baseball teams are accurate indication of value

Dave Berkson
   Forbes Magazine came out with their annual list of bloated value for Major league Baseball teams trying to give it some air in legitimacy for spending and interest in this aching sport that is losing more and more interest in this country. Forbes listed the New York Yankees value as an insane 3.4 billion while the Chicago Cubs are valued at 1.8 billion and again the rational always is the extreme revenue through television deals through the years has raised industry revenue. Fortunately the television cable operators are trying to stop the amount of cost that consumers have to pay for cable as sports programming and athlete and ownership greed is what is causing a bubble in televised sports that hopefully ops soon. Most people are forced to take all-inclusive packages with sports but given a choice fewer and fewer people will opt out other wise cord-cutting will only increase. There is absolutely no television revenue value in a July game between the Boston red Sox and Toronto Blue jays. Chicago Sun Times sports writer Gordon Wittenmyer gleefully wrote of the increased value for his favorite sport even though few and few share the same belief that this lame boring ass long sport event is worth any value to sit and watch whether on TV or in the stands. Witty did mention that minority ownership scamming and debt are also the main reasons Forbes thinks there is value in baseball as billionaires given fresh print money choose to invest this money not in their own companies but the arrogance and self-esteem to own a sporting club. many teams are expecting revenues to increase from future television network deals or forming of new networks but who really is going to pay for advertising to a game and sport where only old corporate people follow. You will not hear the sports journalist likes of Gordon Wittenmyer  question the actual value appraisement of this game that really is on the brink of bankruptcy and a crash. this is because he is part of the media sports complex and enjoys the value of an easy gig of just following and writing of a bunch of twentysomething year old grown men playing a kids game sin silly pajamas. and mainly followed by old people and a smattering of young drunks with too much of their corporate fathers money to waste and drink.
