Now I am not on either side but… here’s an argument. The minimum salary for MLB is $575,000. The NBA – $925,258, NHL – $750,000, NFL $660,000. Now, back in 2012, MLB – $480,000 was the minimum, NFL – $390,000, NBA – $473,604, NHL – $525,000.

Happy ‘National Day of Unplugging’ – as you all read this on various devices…
Be careful out there. (It’s a jungle!)
“I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day”
– David Bowie
