Are you guys Americans? Just curious. The views in this thread are strikingly original (for me). The arguments are well considered and presented -- and I respect that. It's just that I hang out in American sports forums and the topic of player compensation comes up from time to time. The salary cap is generally supported. People feel the players make too much anyway.
I once had a Yankees fan taunt me about Matt Holiday eventually playing for New York, and that there was no point in rooting for the Rockies.
For the record he was wrong. The Cardinals took him and then won a World Series.
Billy Beane failed. Rich teams like Boston can use saber-metrics to equal affect.
And, after all, the A's didn't even win the Pennant, and they still haven't.
