Explain Why The Yankee's Want To Build New Stadiums

133 Words1 Page

Lonnie,

Thank you for your post! As you know I branched off of the Yankee’s in my post. I do agree that if sports teams like the Yankee’s want to build a new stadium there will be cost increases i.e. ticket sales, concessions and team jerseys. What I don’t agree with is cities giving massive tax breaks to teams that build new multi-billion dollar stadiums. We will never see the Yankee’s leave New York. Teams like the Yankees would be able to pay for a new stadium in a short amount of time and still provide jobs for the citizens. If athletes really wanted to win they would play for the league minimum and allow room for other great athletes to be able to play for the same team. Thanks for the post!

    Because of this, President of the team Walter O’Malley wanted to have a new stadium built for the team in Brooklyn. It got to the point where in 1957, he had been trying for a few years, and no progress had been made. City Planner Robert Moses just would not accept his plans. O’Malley was to the point where he started making threats to move the team out of Brooklyn. Leaders like New York Mayor Robert Wagner and many other city officials didn’t see these threats as serious, so when Los Angeles took O’Malley up and offered to build the team a new stadium located at Chavez Ravine, people like Moses and Wagner finally started to turn a little more attention towards the issue.

  • High School Athletes Persuasive Essay

    While some believe that athletes should have their own choice at making a decision to go pro straight out of high school, they should not do so because they will not be able to manage their million dollar contracts respectively. Speaking of contracts, the NBA should eliminate guaranteed contracts for rookies drafted in the first round of the NBA draft. They should do this because a careless high school kid, could just go into the draft not knowing, or caring on how much they are going to make, with the lack of experience on handling millions of dollars. This is very unrepsonsibible for a teenager, and not only for the high school athlete, but also for the basketball association as well. This is because of there noncommitment to have these players

Within the book Sports in American Life: A History, there are two important aspects pointed out about the development of these major league teams. The first being that most sports venues built within the major leagues were paid for by team ownership. The second being when the owners banded together to create a single national league, they were able to heavily control the salary of players without fear of competition from other leagues. What these pseudo robber barons accomplished went far beyond lining their pockets.
