Greed?

I received an e-mail yesterday about a couple of Major League players' new contracts. I didn't see the figures until this AM.

$254 million for 10 years????? And, last week, the Tigers gave a utility player $4 million for two years (I actually like the player, but c'mon....)

So, where is the "greed" there? I know baseball is a "business," but it's, in essence, only a game. Where are the protests? After all, 1000 families could be given $25,000 a year for 10 years.

I know, I know...this is different. As one of my AC classmates has cited, "situational ethics and principles." That can explain away a lot of hypocrisy, can't it?
