The topic of Florida baseball teams has been brought up as more and more indication are that the two major league teams in the sunshine state are a flop. Few fans are willing to spend their own money for boring baseball games and attendance woes of the Florida Marlins and the Tampa Bay Rays are further evidence without the subsidies of business and corporations this sport would never survive. Many teams that are successful like the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, St Louis Cardinals and the likes get eighty percent of their tickets snapped up by corporations who then dwell freebies to their connected and invited guests for these dull events.
Professional baseball in Florida doesn't have this luxury and have to rely on individual ticket sales and if the New York Yankees and Bosox had to rely on individual sale instead of corporate business-class subsidies:People who use other peoples money and their business accounts to purchase sporting event tickets. The Marlins continually need to sell out their team and dump salaries and essentially are a minor league team within the major leagues and this realization and reflection of baseball mirror much of the rest of the country. All these so-called successful baseball franchises with loaded debt and fake values to bulldoze more construction would be in the same position as the Florida failures without these subsidies and thus shows the scam of this 18th century sport that plays like something out of a 16th century nightmare. The recent article by the Wall Street Journal calling for a day of reckoning on the part of baseball to admit baseball in the sunshine state is a disaster was embarrassing to the league and hopefully points out hos this league and sport is used to continue inequality with business supporting a class and the league in a corporate recycling of money and free entertainment dollars for this class.
