Sports columnist Rick Morrissey is a hack for players and Rick enjoys his job of observing and watching competitive sports. Rick Morrissey also has no problem with so much money given to sport owner in subsidies and much corporate money diverted towards their institutions and exploiting the culture and economics of this country. Rick wrote a disturbing piece recently blasting owners and taking the players side in contract disputes and columnist Rick Morrissey is angered the Chicago Cubs have not given Jake Arrietta or Jap Yu Darvish a 70 million dollar two year contract. This son of a bitch columnist sees no reason for austerity for the baseball player as most real workers be it construction guys, plumbers, or civic service government workers in this country and around the world have faced. For jag fags like Mr Morrissey players deserve every dime possible because they are athletes and thus deserving of millions in guaranteed contract regardless of how they perform once singing the contract where ass real workers would get the can if getting a salary and then doing an awful job. Morrissey and others would have you to believe the owners do not want to share the tremendous profits that go into the game but the owners .It is beneficial for Morrissey to see these players get paid through the roof as he is a rare bird that makes a living covering these scammers and athletic fuck heads in American summer culture.
The prick Rick along with Rick Telander and Rick Reilly are so mad so sad that free agent signings have gone into hibernation as owners resist the outrageous demands for dough made by these plyers who many often go into their own hibernation most of whom don't play up to the new contract and don't play to earn even a fraction of their new salaries but get it guaranteed. Arrietta and this Japanese pitcher have been performing bad form last season and most organizations (both had ERA way past three per game) know wasting 25 or 30 million on long term contracts for these arms that couldn't even make two hundred innings is not a wise decision nor is even a top performer like Max Scherzer even worth one million dollars a year. Basically the top salaries for baseball should be reduced to the two to three million a year category and even this may be too much. If they players don't like these e new salaries let them work another job and see how much they can get paid as firemen or brick layers, jobs that provide more for our society than jerks who throw balls and attempt to swing a bat to hit it. Morrissey agrees with some players and agent Scott Boras that players should walk out on spring training and for many people in this country they can walk off this season the next and the one after that for this sport is irrelevant and less exciting than watching squirrels look for their lost nuts.
