New York Yankees is not evil…
I have been a New York Yankees fan for a long time. I grew up in NYC and so it was naturally either the Yankees or the Mets. I picked the winning team as my fav (no brainer). Over the years, I’ve heard various arguments on why the Yankees is evil with Steinbrenner “buying” the players being the final blow.
If you are a member of that camp, I would like you to answer the following questions truthfully…
- Do you think it’s acceptable for a business to hire talented individuals with substantial financial offer?
- Have you ever considered working for a different company (or even changing line of work) because they (it) offer a high pay?
- If a competing business gives you a job offer with a big paycheck, would you join them?
- Do you feel talented individuals (you included) should be paid what they’re worth?
- Do you believe in supply and demand?
If you answer yes to all five, you my friend, might be evil as well.
In short, the Yankees haven’t done anything that you and I wouldn’t do in a heartbeat. So if you still feel strongly that because “buying” to win is wrong, then I say you’re just bitter your favorite team(s) couldn’t pony up the dough.
Congrats to the NYY for their 27th World Series Championship!
