This week's dickhead is one Bud Selig. He recently decided that he would force some of his lowest paid workers (most minor leaguers make less than $1500/month) to tighten their belts a bit since MLB is hurting financially.
"According to two of Tony's sources, Major League Baseball recently denied a proposal that would have increased the amount of road meal money that minor leaguers receive each day.
Oh, it wasn't anything life changing — the daily total would only have been upped to $25 from $20 — but MLB is said to have conveniently cited the flagging economy as a reason.
Yes, the same MLB that reported $6 billion in revenue in 2007 and oversees teams handing out $161 million contracts to one pitcher is the one that's putting the kibosh on a plan that had already been approved by all 30 minor league directors and then by all 30 GMs."
This is kind of fucking nuts when you listen to this fuckbag talk about how MLB is rolling in fucking money.
Selig says, "When you look at the final numbers and you see what's happened, it's remarkable. There are times, honestly, when I have to pinch myself to make sure all of this is happening. ... Growth and revenue, growth and profitability; it's just been really, really good."
He then went on to kick a puppy and shove an old woman to the floor
