Major league ball clubs have government-subsidized stadiums. But their high-priced employee salaries are not regulated as in government-hated industry.
Almost every major league ball club has been given funds in some way to build ball parks with funds which have come from local or state taxpayers. Much of that money can be traced from federal stimulus funds. So, a logical interpretation of law by politicians overlooking those funds would declare that salary controls of executives earning a few million a year should also apply to star athletes.
One player having a poor year got $100,000 for every six pitches he faced. A total of about $30 million. The short-sighted Obama Administration could have 30 top-level execs for that money, producing jobs in a depressed economy.
