I thought that it made the Jays look very foolish, to have their celebration before getting to their goal. Or makes you wonder if they just want to "give" the minimum.
they did reach the goal before the celebration, they won the American east, the American championship
was the next one, but wasn't the most important one they have been after for some time, but definitely
would have been important to having home field advantage thru playoffs.
I was never a fan of the ridiculous salaries all people in professional sports are paid! Like who is worth the most money between a neurosurgeon and a defenseman on the N.H.L.? Or say a pilot on a major airline or Dennis Rodman?
the money people make in professional sports is directly linked to the profits of the organizations they
play for, as without the players, owners would have nothing, they all need each other, and unlike years
ago when owners horded all the money from profits, today the pie is split much more fairly.
the old argument that prices would be lower if players made much less is b.s., doesn't work that way,
and if you study the professional sports from very early on, and move forward thru the times, proves
that point, profits are shared, and the players earn a share, have a short career, a pension and earn
the right to a good life for their families.
neuro surgeons also make lots of money, live in the best neighnorhoods, drive the best cars, travel to
the best places in the world, and have a good life for their families,
professional hockey players have worked hard from small children to be good enough, have paid high prices for
training, equipment, travel etc., the neuro surgeon paid highly to go to school, they both earned what they
strived for, so good for them.
when you watch professional sports can't you see the difficulty of their task, and realize the years of
training and dedication put toward the results you watch.
being very good in math and science and enjoying groping around in someones brain isn't for everyone,
and neither is spending all of one's childhood striving to be the best in a sport, each has their own
abilities and interests, and we need both of them, and they are both worthy of a good living.
