Link for more info. So, a boring sport get's it's first team to do something stupid. And much like football, the owner of the team is good friends with the baseball commissioner. Let's see how he will punish the team, it's quite sad and embarrassing for the team to be caught doing something like this. | ||

Corruption in sports is nothing new. This shit happens frequently in baseball. |

(Steroids/betting/throwing a game) but nothing as big as this where a whole team, teams name will be tarnished. |

I prefer basketball, but I'm sure going with friends would make any outing worthwhile. | ||

Damn, got me beat. Golf would put a man on fistfuls of caffeine supplements to sleep. | ||

Baseball outside of the MLB is also pretty good, as the teams aren't typically beset by stupid drama that comes with it. Yes, in the end you're watching guys hit a ball with a stick and run around in a square, but people wouldn't be playing if it wasn't fun. I could say the same about every sport that's nationally televised. I never understood why people that play a game for a living are making seven figure salaries, while people doing actual work are mostly trapped in the middle class. |

One or two players in a team are "celebrities". Name more than five players in the Green Bay Packers offhand. Explain why those people deserve that kind of salary for throwing a ball around on tv for a few hours. | ||
