Those close to him should be allowed to hear the honest opinions of others so that when they're close to him, they can at least, if only silently, question the man. Someday, one of those people who is close to him will ask him why, other than being rich, he's such a loser. At some point in time I hope one of those people won't be a whore to the man and decide that sucking off his financial teet is their only option, and break ranks. So I think the open and honest public criticism needs to continue to feed that person the information they need to have that hopefully-not-private conversation with the ogre. The sooner one of those being paid hush-money of sorts breaks ranks, the sooner we might be a winning team.
At a minimum glASS should have the balls to be very public, and relentless in the media, with the sport's lack of sensible pay structure. I wonder how many weekly rants in the media from an owner it would take before the owners would try to vote him off the island. It ould be more fun to watch than his team is most of the time... And MY tax dollars go into the stadium where THAT team plays, so telling us to just not follow the team is bullshit. If my tax dollars support it, I can bitch about it. If he doesn't like it, move the ****ing team (regardless of his agreement).
I might suggest, if there's one thing worse, or equal to, baseball's lack of some sensible and enforceable salary equality is that there's nothing that can be done about deadbeat owners like glASS.

While I don't want to say that I started all I heard about today on the various AM radio shows, I will say that it's interesting after I brought-up the tax issue yesterday at 10:17AM there was a LOT of talk about taxes and fan's rights. Black-out-ending talk or not, all of it's about us having a certain freedom to talk about owners (all we want) because we built the house their team plays in...
I know, I know, none of the local sports TV and Radio jocks monitor this board, it's just a coincidence!
Well they're either monitoring this board for content (and I think that's very-much true), or I just happened to guess the issue of the day (the day before) and should have gone to the boats!
