Part-time baseball team proposed
The mad baseball folks are now suggesting Montreal could share a baseball team with Tampa Bay. I don’t see how even Stephen Bronfman could sell this as a premise for building an entirely new stadium on public land.

By emphasizing the perils of ownership, the article suggests that professional sports are all about owning people.

Really? Name some business where employees aren’t essentially prostituting themselves for money? We all do it. Now, can we have some real insight? Like the fact that these teams aren’t really local anyway. If we put a rule that stated that you could only use locals… then maybe. But we don’t. This is nothing about local… it’s all about the money. But so is most of life.

@Ephraim – It was exactly that realization (that all the guys on the Red Sox did not grow up around Boston or at least New England) that killed forever any spark of interest in sports I may have had as a kid.
