This is a load of garbage....Boston sold out every game this year and it's fans support the team through tickets, concessions and through watching them on cable tv. But, we wind up having to pay revenue sharing every year to teams like Pittsburgh, Milwaukee and Kansas City.
Liberalism at its finest
The Red Sox have the 1994 strike to thank for their World Series title. Without that cataclysmic event baseball would not have realigned and introduced the wild card, along with interleague play. Despite selling out every game during the season the Red Sox still finished behind the Yankees in their divisional race and made the playoffs as a wild card team.
Are you content with competing for that wild card berth on an annual basis as your shot at the playoffs? Because the Yankees have financial resources that far exceed those of the Red Sox, and George Steinbrenner is willing to spend more than the Red Sox are willing to spend to acquire the ballplayers necessary for the Yankees to keep winning the AL East.
Somehow sharing revenue has not prevented the New England Patriots from assembling a winning team. And it didn't take 86 years with the playing field being closer to level.
