You just undermined your argument.
They make enough money to live on, plus they have money left over to send to people in other countries.
The reason they have enough is that their food, lodging, travel, clothes are paid for. People making minimum wage don't get that.
You folks should be ashamed comparing privileged MILB players with hard-working minimum wage workers.
Quit trolling. There's no difference between sending money home for family and taking care of family in the United States. No one should be ashamed of rational discussion about wages.
I'm bowing out of this one. Contradictions in beliefs + thinking that minor league baseball isn't a job are concepts that are far beyond the scope of discussion I wish to have here. Some really good discussion, though. I appreciate this thread.
