We are in the middle of a tough economic down turn and unfortunately the sports world has been affected as well. So how do fans respond to this tough time?
Let’s take a look at Los Angeles Dodger fans as they made one of the biggest stands of fans all across baseball.
Dodger fans made a stand for all of sports, they said no more, and went out and set a new attendance record for all of baseball.
Now, at this point I ask you fans,  can sports be an escape from the real world? For about three hours you get the chance to go and watch professional athletes do amazing things that the average person simply can not.
So you commit your life to your dream of being a lawyer, an actor, a business man.  If you make to the top of your career you have made it and have become successful according to societies standards.
Chances are you raking in more than five figures and are enjoying life.
But, for some reason if it’s an athlete they are thrown to the waste side and their work is regarded as “easy” or “unproductive.”
All though the salaries may be on the high side who is to say that this income is bad or wrong?
Look at the American Dream and how much it has changed.
The days of two and a half kids and a white picket fence are long gone. Now-a-days it seems as though the dream has turned into climb to the highest point, don’t look back and collect your riches along the way.
These athletes don’t deserve the hate they get.
Society may say that this is an absurd amount to be making in the first place but when it comes down to it, it really isn’t anyone’s business how much these athletes get paid.
It’s just like Dodger fans. The price of tickets may go up but the fans will still show up, as is apparent. If you were so upset about the prices, then watch the game on TV or listen on the radio.
Until the stadium is empty the prices will keep on rising.
