Disgusted

I have watched a lot of ESPN since I had Annabelle. It is the only thing I can tolerate at 3 am while I am feeding her even if it is the 39th time I have watched that particular sports center. While I was in the hospital the Yankees were negotiating that pitchers contract for all those millions. The same day CNN was reporting 2 different companies having lay offs. It was sickening that this guy is going to have more money than he can ever spend for playing a sport while these people may lose everything. Since then they have signed another dude for all that money. What are the Yankees going to do when they have built this new stadium, paid out all their money for these players but their fans are all layed off and can't afford to come to the games.

I think I just get a little angry that these people have so much and some of them just blow it. I am pretty much fed up with professional sports, the NBA players all have nasty looking tattoos all over their bodies and the football players can't stay out of trouble. I am a fan of tattoos but geez, not if they are disgusting. I know there are a lot of nice respectable athletes but seems like more and more thugs are making their way in.

It is scary times we live in - hopefully the economy will recover. I just thought it a little much that this is made such big news while there are people who are losing everthing. I do not have much sympathy for people who bought houses that they knew they could not afford, but I have much empathy for those who were able to make it and make it comfortably until things out of their control happened.
