70,000 . . . 80,000 people
Pay what, a couple of hundred bucks each?
To watch 22 guys throw, run, and kick a ball up and down an empty field
And each of those 22 guys are paid more for one year
Than I earned in 23 years as a high school teacher
But it's not just that.
It's musicians and writers and actors
We're paying to be entertained by millionaires
Instead of entertaining each other
Or hell, instead of entertaining ourselves.
Somewhere in your neighborhood there's a band playing in a bar
Which is more than good enough to keep you entertained
And the ten dollars you spend to see them
Is going to buy them groceries,
Not go to their portfolio options
Or wherever the hell millionaires put their money.
Come on, people
Now.
