They get 'em...just not on the medal stand. They bring additional to locker room for coaches. USA basketball ordered additional for their staff after Barcelona.

$40K is absurd. . .

[The Bid]

The players are now protesting that the guy that stands outside the players lot and flags in team personnel should get a 50k bonus for staying in Boston.

I dont understand why people think that MLB shouldnt pay these guys 40k if that is what they agreed to. If you were promised 40k and were told the day before you were getting nothing how would you feel? Like SC says, MLB not only will make tens of millions on this trip, it is a 6 1/2 billion dollar business. Good for the players for sticking up for the rest of the team.

They should pay them(if they made that deal.) They should never have agreed to pay them 40k in the first place.They've already started turning the sport into an elitist situation.If they want to keep raising prices on the fans,then stop giving 40k to support people (when 10k is just fine.)

The owners are making tons of money. They raise prices on the fans because they can without seeing demand drop. Tickets or concession prices are not related to payroll. The real bs is when teams take the money from MLB and keep it, not trying to improve the team.

I don't go much anymore.I went a lot in the 70's-80's,but it's gotten out of hand.It's like they forgot there are 81 home games.It isn't that unique.People have no discipline.That's why all the debt in this country...I ain't gunna go much anymore.You're right,they will find others to rip off.People who downgrade their housing just to piss money away on cars and entertainment.Live in a **** neighborhood in a condo or apartment(rather than a house.)Dodger Stadium bleachers are full of that type.
