I really agree with the posted caption.
Many will defend the wages that coaches and players get based on what they earn in revenue from fans and such. I can under stand that but is our society really better off doing things that way??? I really do not have an answer but it does cause some conflict in my head about our values anymore.
It really sickens me to see some high paid athlete complain about how he is disrespected by a multi million dollar pay check. Then many of the same ones getting off scot free breaking the law because they are famous players.
I used to watch baseball. I liked the Reds. Eric Davis just about ruined watching baseball for me. Watching a guy making millions lazy around chasing a fly ball with a half an effort. Then all the media telling us how injured he was. IT is baseball not rugby. He must have had a hang nail or something.
Talk to many younger people and they will tell you that only the stupid go into the service. Serving your country is not the "cool" thing to do anymore. It is only for the dumb and poor people to do.
Another tie in is our leaders. In times not that long past you just about had to be a veteran to run for national political office. It was way over half, I think around 75% much of the time. I read the other day that is is under 10% now. This is not good. You need to really understand what serving in the military is all about. If you have been into war you will be much less likely to order someone else into war. You know the price that has to be paid in battle. I don't mean money either.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
