End ALL aid to Israel, tho.

As a Marlins fan, I’d rather not reward Sherman for keeping us a poverty franchise. No cap now, no cap ever.
Most fans want an MLB salary cap for two reasons: they’re jealous of what players make, and they’re mad their local owners (Pirates, Marlins, A’s) refuse to try.
That’s emotion, not math.
Payroll explains roughly a third of wins. The other two-thirds is development, scouting, and competent management.
The Rays and Brewers just proved it again.
MLB has as many different champions as the “parity” leagues that already have caps.
A hard cap mostly protects owners profits and franchise values while giving cheap owners a permanent excuse.
Your team isn’t losing because Ohtani exists.
It’s losing because the people who own it chose not to compete.

I would add that with so few regular season games, every game kind of matters and it’s relatively easy to follow compared to baseball.
NFL’s popularity has absolutely nothing to do with small market teams being competitive.
The NFL popularity boom aligns directly with fantasy football becoming more mainstream. People care about small market teams and watch those games because they are nationally televised(easy to find) and they have skin in the game.
If you’re a Jets fan, are you really tuning in to watch Thursday Night Football between Jacksonville and Baltimore because you want to watch two small market teams? No, you’re watching because it’s the only game on, it’s nationally televised and you have Parker Washington on your fantasy team.

This guy gets it. Of course he’s answering a Pirates fan.
NFL salaries increased 5x.
But NFL league revenue increased 15x!
And somehow @C_AdamskiTrib thinks this was a WIN for NFL players?
This is exactly what a Salary Cap achieves. The profits grow much much faster than the salaries of the players.

And after being totally abandoned by the national party, even. Nixon is a hero. Democrats should be ashamed (but won’t be).
Florida is the absolute epicenter of MAGA and a democratic socialist nearly pulled off one of the biggest upsets in political history. What a tremendous campaign from Angie Nixon.

Watching TNG with my dad is one of my very earliest memories. Patrick Stewart was great in everything he was in, but will always have a special place in my heart for his part in sparking my love for sci fi generally and Trek specifically. Rest in peace.
