Do you really think limiting one's salary would change anything? So they make $300K instead of $3MM. They will still have more money than the average person and still find a way to misbehave or cheat. <BR/><BR/>Heck, if you read the indictment, we're not even talking about a lot of money here. The crazy thing is that Vick would even jeopardize his huge salary, bonuses, endorsements for paulty wagers on a barbaric enterprise.<BR/><BR/>This is not entirely about greed. It's certainly not about fans buying game tickets or merchandise. This is about stupid people doing bad things and getting caught.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17183265.post-68515865492801239852007-07-25T23:44:00.000-04:002007-07-25T23:44:00.000-04:00Pro sports is about profit and greed. The leagues,...Pro sports is about profit and greed. The leagues, teams and players appear to be the ones to blame. Its about time the product value and the integrity of the games are upheld. People love college sports because of its alleged purity. The profit is just spread around the schools and the players have no choice but to tow the line in order to get their slice of the pie in the pros. Maybe we need to limit the salary and signing bonuses to be based on yearly perfomance on and off of the field. But the league, teams and players are just filling the demand of the marketplace. Its up to us as fans. If we do not buy the tickets and the merchandise nor buy the products of the sponsors and the advertisers the dollars will dry up and the market will force a change in whats presented to the public to get the public to spend its money. Shame on us for not using the control we have for it is us the FANS who are to blame for the spending not the leagues, teams, players, and advertisers who offer the product.

Maybe athletes should be on a deferred comp program dependent upon them a) winning and <BR/>b)having a thread of decency in their lives.<BR/>I hope he is done professional athletics if this is trueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
