3449...Communism Is Never The Answer

So sayeth rich person Hank Steinbrenner, the man who runs the New York Yankees. Well, co runs it.

For those of you who follow sport you probably know that the most successful and profitable league in the world is the National Football League. The champion of the NFL is the Green Bay Packers who represent a market of about 600 000, the smallest in the majors. By the way, according to my source, Al Streit of the baseball almanac, using numbers from a decade ago, the three next smallest markets are Calgary, Edmonton and your capital.

The big reason that the NFL survives and thrives in Green Bay is because they share, like communists do. Mr. Steinbrenner, not such a fan: "'At some point, if you don't want to worry about teams in minor markets, don't put teams in minor markets, or don't leave teams in minor markets if they're truly minor,' Steinbrenner said. 'Socialism, communism, whatever you want to call it, is never the answer.'"

Um, yeah, apparently, at least for the most successful league in the world, being a commie works. But, hey, you are a bully soooooo.
