Baseball players, like any other professional athlete, are entertainers their job is to put fans in seats, eyes on the TV and to sell merchandise. The attendance of baseball games league wide has been increasing year over year, TV ratings have been increasing as well and merchandise has been seeing a very steady increase. At least for baseball players the steady rise in salaries appears to be justified.
Since when has any job salary been linked to the benefit they provide to society?
I have heard quite often that Consulting software engineers are overpaid usually it comes from the people that called asking and are now paying us to clean up the mess they made of it.
"he bracket is divided into the Light Side and the Dark Side, guaranteeing a matchup between the two in the final round."
Actually it does not. The way it is laid out it guarantees that the light and dark will face off twice in the final four. You could end up with a Luke vs Lea or a Vader vs Buba.
The seeding seems kind of top heavy on both sides.
I believe that some of these places should send their head cooks to the US for a week. I was in a US chain hotel in Copenhagen that served what they called a traditional American continental breakfast buffet (among other items), the scrambled eggs were soupy (was no ketchup in sight) , the bacon was rubbery (in looks and taste), the sausage looked more like a mini hot dog uncooked and they had something they labeled as scrapple (looked more like burnt french toast with a green tint).
Plus there is all that body work of unknown materials. Are Vader's legs made of steel or some unknown alloy? Can he switch out his limbs for different types based on what he believes he will be doing?
Something like this happen to me in college. I have the proper parking pass to park in the lot next to my dorm, I come out the next morning to find a parking meter at the spot I am in, a ticket on my car, a guy installing a parking meter at the spot 2 down from mine and a university police officer writing up a ticket for that car as well.
