Ted, > I think its another example of how American capitalism has run amok.

Can't argue with you there, but I think Jim described it better:

Pro athletes playing for teams are essentially mercenaries.


Frankly, I don't care to whom they are loyal or whether they are athletes or mercenaries. I simply think we pay them too much damn money.....same with successful actors.

As for Lebron James, my problem with him is how he strung out Cleveland. Like many Clevelanders, I thought he was staying with the Cavaliers. The 'game' he played stinks IMO.
