Hundreds of Major League Baseball players in our very own nation are living at, just below, or in most cases far above the seven-figure salary level. And as if that weren't bad enough they could be deprived of their life-giving pay for several months, possibly longer, as a result of the upcoming strike situation. But you can help!

For only $20,835 a month, about $694.50 a day (that's less than the cost of a large screen projection TV) you can help a MLB player remain economically viable during his time of need. This contribution by no means solves the problem as it barely covers the annual minimum salary, but it's a start, and every little bit will help!

Although $700 may not seem like a lot of money to you, to a baseball player it could mean the difference between spending the strike golfing in Florida or in the Mediterranean. For you, seven hundred dollars is nothing more than a month's rent, half a mortgage payment, two unemployment checks, or a month of medical insurance with COBRA, but to a baseball player, $700 will partially replace his daily salary.

Your commitment of less than $700 a day will enable a player to buy that home entertainment center, trade in the year-old Lexus for a new Ferrari, or enjoy a weekend in Rio.

HOW WILL I KNOW I'M HELPING?

Each month, you will receive a complete financial report on the player you sponsor. Detailed information about his stocks, bonds, 401(k), real estate, and other investment holdings will be mailed to your home. Plus, upon signing up for this program, you will receive an unsigned photo of the player lounging during the strike on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean (for a signed photo, please include an additional $150). Put the photo on your refrigerator to remind you of other peoples suffering.

Your MLB player will be told that he has a SPECIAL FRIEND who just wants to help in a time of need. Although the player won't know your name, he will be able to make collect calls to your home via a special operator in case additional funds are needed for unforeseen expenses.

YES, I WANT TO HELP!

[ ] Entire team (Please call our 900 number to ask for the cost of a specific team - $10 per minute)

[ ] Alex Rodriguez (Higher cost: $60,000 per day)

Thank you for your support!!

I think we should start a PAC to abolish money. Do you the think that the old money Texans in the White House would support it?

they have less than 40 min now to decide

they are fucking greedy assholes fuck them all!!!!!

i really dont care if "any sport" player goes on strike

they already get paid a shit load just to have fun

thats not work thats a fucking game and they choose to play but u should not be paided to play a damn sport. Any sport that is.!! You play cause u love the game not the money. At least thats how it used to be. That for all sports as well.

fuck american sports!!!

pisses me off when people die doing their job and these fucking baseball, football who ever gets paid more then them

thats just fucking wrong

i dont think any player should be paid but if u have to pay them it should only be what they are really worth

like u just pay for their food and trips and places to stay but they do everything else

i mean shit you should work just like everyone else right

dont give this practice bull shit..thats not work...

players in no fucking way help the econmy

the people who pay to see the god damn game do

shit pay the players less and it will help it even more cause then people dont have to ditch as much out to see the damn game and can spend more money on something else

just pisses me off when people say they dont get paid enough or even if they do get paid the right amount

fucking credy bitchs

see what america has come too?




Creed

no thats just our fucking exisuse

fucking dumb asses

ok i'm going to jump off a cliff now

later

I will laugh my ass off when something like that hits major football leagues here in Europe too B)

Pisses me hearing all the multi-million values for transfers, TV rights, salaries, new stadiums, greedy players and sport agents, high ticket prices, etc... f*ck FIFA, UEFA and all these too... :angry:

ya... it really sucks when u can earns millions by just kicking a soccer bal, fly dunk a basketball, whack a white golf ball.........

it sucks, it really sucks.....
but, those people can really pull in the crowds when they are playing........

it is the same for the actors and actresses........

Reverse the roles then see what you say.

still its just fucking "wrong"

i say all sport players should be paid what they are really worth

same with actors and shit

only pay for food and housing and shit like that but thats it

it would still be like $150,000 a year but thats way better than whats its at now
