Baseball has prostituted itself. Pretty soon we’ll be starting games at midnight so the people in outer space can watch games on prime-time television. We’re making a mistake by always going for more money.

Because Ray Kroc never went for more money…
Kinda comes with the territory of being a businessman, doesn’t it?
So true. Here we are at the end of the season and all the MLB “overdone” will be in full glory in the playoffs.
So far we haven’t seen the World Series turn into *quite* the commercial display that the Super Bowl has become, but it’s headed in that direction.
I think there was a typo in your post. Shouldn’t it have been: “McDonald’s has prostituted itself. Pretty soon we’ll be putting high fructose corn syrup and filler corn in nearly every item on our menu, so that we can sell more empty chemical-laden calories even cheaper and pass it off as “food”, while paying our employees less than a living wage so that they can’t even afford what we sell. We’re making a mistake by always going for more money.”
Or something like that …
Funny. Although… McDonald’s is still too specific. Sadly, that kind of thing is everywhere.
I hope he’s right. That would be great. The thought of a three headed pitcher from outer space or better yet, a batter high on ESP, look out Ted Williams! I’d stay awake till midnite for that!
Hilarious! But yes, that would be highly entertaining.
