Greed is alive and well in sports. Once again the middle class and lower class , financially speaking, is paying the bill for the the upper class. If you enjoy Big Ten sports, you know have to pay more to get the Big Ten Network. If you enjoy the Pro Football, you can now pay more for a special NFL Network. The ticket prices are already to high for pro and college sport events. Gone are the days when you put up your rabbit ears to receive the sporting event. You now have to pay for cable, and then pay more for special stations. The rich get their tickets comped because their companies spend money on advertising. Someday people will stand up and say enough is enough.
One example on how the people spoke up was the Muskegon Air Fair. Everything went downhill when people were forbidden to take their food into the event. Instead you had to buy overpriced food. People stopped coming and soon the event was closed.
Gone to a movie lately? For the price of a ticket and the overcharge of popcorn and treats, you could have fed a family of 50.
Gone to church lately? The collection plate is voluntary, and you you get treated to some great music and interesting speakers. You get to converse, get a free cup of coffee and enjoy yourself.
Life in general
