And that's great for the fans in KC isn't it. You need a better system to protect the fans from bad owners.
MLB simply doesn't care about certain markets. As long as NY, Chicago, LA, Boston, etc are doing well and pulling fans, they don't give a rat's rear end about KC, Toronto, Pitt, etc.
Moreover this quote "And in a sign that spending doesn't translate into post-season success, the New York Yankees failed to advance past the opening round of the playoffs in 2005 and 2006 despite a $200 million annual payroll." is pretty useless...in the sport where the fewest teams make the post-season, surely a $200 million annual payrol has gone a long way to ensure NY is there season in and season out.
Bottom line, if you think that what Bud Selig thinks or the fact that MLB extended this deal is proof that the system is working for
all fans, you are mistaken.
