Does this make them good people no but it would be better for the leauge becasue these asshats have money and they would spend it. cynical maybe but its true

I wouldn't go that far personally. Someone, I think Michael Wilbon or Stephen A. Smith, said that people just like watching others play who look like them. There is nothing wrong with that. I'm an overweight white guy, so I like seeing guys like Sidney Ponson of the Orioles play well in a similar condition. However, it isn't as though that's a true concern as long as I'm being entertained.
