Thees athletes make more money in 2 years then I will ever see in my lifetime. Although it is their job, it is a Game. They are doing a function just like every other working person in the world. What gives them entitlement to a Tax Dollar Paid parade? In a time when New York is creating new fees to charge and new taxes for us to pay to compensate for their unwillingness to run the City more efficiently. I just don't get it. If the ball players want this... I think they or the entire baseball League should have gotten involved in a lot of fun raises to pay for it. It snarls the roads that aren't closed for it, no one has the day off to see it.. My memory may be failing but I don't remember ever getting a parade for doing what I'm paid to do. Role models? I don't think so. Allegence to a team? I don't think so. So why the parade? -- '75 Jeep CJ5 345Hp ChevyPwrd, two motorcycles, '85 Pickup: The '89 Volvo is the newest vehicle I own. it wasn't Volvos safety , it was Longevity that sold me http://home.no.net/ebrox/Tony's%20cars.htm Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
