Professional sports is one industry where the labor is actually paid proportionally to how much revenue is generated. Ryan Howard is paid $10 million because he puts fans in the seats and sells merchandise. Thats why I really can't take Hamels' side on this one. He said that that being paid $500,000 instead of $750,000 was a 'low blow.' <BR/><BR/>C'mon. His problem is he's a sensitive Californian. He needs to keep his mouth shut about what he considers a disappointing paycheck, and try to put the team first and his emotions second. Now, I like Cole. My advice to him? Get blue-collar, and put your nose to the grindstone.Chris H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10587575202034228370noreply@blogger.com
