Stick it to the Man-ny
I have drawn the line in the sand. There can't be any more lenience. There is no room for the most selfish "man" in sports. Manny "All About Me" Ramirez just turned down a one-year, $25 million contract. That's right, 25,000,000 American dollars. In a point in time where families are being kicked out of there homew because of economic crisis, Manny turned his head the other way to being the second-highest paid player in the Majors, and more money in one year than most families will make in 5 generations. I could understand if there was a "better" offer than that...that's the spirit of capatilism and what this country is based on, but when you spit at that kind of money with that much disdain in this time, there's no place for you here. No team should sign you, hang up your spikes Manny, and go home...
