You are not the parent of an athlete so you do not know what they have to sacrificed. You are not an athlete so you do not know what they had to endured within their realms. You are not popular so you do not know the level of demands required of them.

They deserve every pennies.

When he comes back on here, tell him he's right: we do have a choice.

it's all about being fair and moral
throughout the public school system, kids being taught to share
if you have 100 apple, you share them with the rest of the kids
so no one starve

just watch, man

the people are starting to wake up
that why bernie sander was sooo popular
you going see socialism take place
(FYI, they already are, medicare, social security, etc....)

bro,

they are jacking up the prices of the game ticket and the food
hella expensive
talking about $8 dollars for a bottle of beer, depending on the stadium
and $6 brat

people can't even afford to go to the games no more
a good seat to a packer game will cost you $200-300
Supply and demand.  Demand goes up, so do prices.  Supply cost is the cost of the athlete.  You can buy brats for much cheaper than that at the store, but you don't.  That's why the athlete is demanding more money for his notoriety.

Put it this way, if you can get an audience to pay me $20,000,000 to see your show, I'd be happy to pay you $10,000,000.

You have no fans and you’re not in demands. You are not an entertainer. You work and grind just like any regular joes.

Wrong with the ignorant "only" claim again  ;D:

"Cavaliers tickets selling for as low as $2 ..."

"Falcons at Browns, November 11: Average ticket $88; cheapest ticket $21*
Panthers at Browns, December 9: Average ticket $88; cheapest ticket $20
Colts at Jets, October 14: Average ticket $87; cheapest ticket $35
Buccaneers at Bengals, October 28: Average ticket $84; cheapest ticket $28
Titans at Bills, October 7: Average ticket $84; cheapest ticket $44
Ravens at Browns, October 7: Average ticket $83; cheapest ticket $23
Jets at Browns, September 20: Average ticket $82; cheapest ticket $25
Lions at Bills, December 16: Average ticket $71; cheapest ticket $17
Jets at Bills, December 9: Average ticket $67; cheapest ticket $21
Jaguars at Bills, November 25: Average ticket $62; cheapest ticket $25"



...and oh, here's another common sense, common knowledge FACT about the simple concept of supply and demand:

"if you’re hoping to watch Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers throw a touchdown pass, you better be prepared to up your budget."

Yup. It's all about making money.  You can buy your hotdogs at the market for a couple of dollars, but you won't because the high paid athlete isn't there doing what he does best.  You're not paying the high price for the dog. You're paying it for the experience.

Yea man
They jacking up the price of everything
I don’t even eat and drink while inside the stadium

I pay like $100 for a packer ticket that was high up in the stadium
Can’t even see shit
Just stick figures
You will need a binoculars

If you want a closer seat
Especially where they do those lambeau leap
Those things goes for $500-1000 maybe more
If people are reselling

All that fraudulent wordings and NOTHING to dispute how only the "really wealthy" can afford a "$2" ticket...NOT surprised though...

I mean since you got called out publicly for lack of basic decimal skills and giving "bad investment advise" and your "math is off" by other PH members, it only makes sense that you would think ***ONLY*** the "really wealthy" can afford a $2 ticket... :idiot2: ;D

Why sweat over "$100" when you can just win the lotto since you're the "hmong Nostradamus and is always right"??  ???
