There would have been a 2nd revolution then but for anti-trust laws, collective bargaining, and the New Deal. But here we are again. bsky.app/profile/pale... 491304372

Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 14h120 million Gross. To do whatever they wanted. Which 60% of the owners just stuffed in their pockets instead of investing in players/personel to win. 000
Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 14hThere are “allowed deductions” before the 48% Stadium Operating & Maintenance Expenses Facility Debt Service & Rent Certain Central Deductions: Adjustments to avoid double-counting national broadcast money or central league distributions. Which after teams got ~120 million each 100
Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 15h120 million was the league wide rev share every team got to start. Each team keeps 52% of their revenues and 48% goes into a pool split equally. So pitt and cincy spent $0. They both spent at or below the rev share amount. Essentially, they didn’t even try 100
Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 15hYuck if hes speaker. Incoming group should revolt if he is handed it. 000
Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 15hEver since that i was like oh this award is meaningless. He played like 13 games and less than 100 inning at 1st and won a GG 110
Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 15hAnd somehow SD carries 11th highest payroll on avg last 10 yrs Totally not shitty owners though. In league rev share each team in 2025 got an estimated 120 million Pitt spent 87 Cincy spent 120. How about trying before complaining. 100
Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 16hHow if they have more dynastic champions over the last 25/26 years? Ok to further the. Since 2000 26 of 32 mlb teams have made a finals appearece (SD, Cin, Pitt, Mil) only missing. NFL & NHL 22 of 32 Nba 19. Again more parity over a 25 year span. Not sure what you mean by parity. 100
Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 16hSince 2000 here are the DIFFERENT champions per major sports league: Salary capped: Nba 12 Nfl 13 Nhl 14 Non capped mlb 15. Sooooo you want less competition? 000
Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 16hSo because owners would rather pocket the money than spend on winning, You decide to BLAME the handful of teams who will spend instead of the 2/3rds of owners who would rather suck and keep 150 mil for themselves. You are arguing the wrong point. Salary caps don’t work. NFL/NBA/NHL prove it 200
Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 16hIts a joke. But take atlanta as a baseline cause they are publically traded. In 2025 purely baseball operations: Made 635 million. Spent 497 million. Profit of 138 million. This includes the official MLB CBT number of 235 million payroll. ATLANTA! Of coarse they claim a paper loss of 23 mil 000

Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 16hAll mlb teams can support a $170 million dollar a year payroll. Today Thats roughly what they get on day one in rev share. All teams. More than half the league is below that. Intentionally. And don’t you worry, it totally makes concessions and tickets cheaper and doesn’t go in the owners pocket 251
Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 17hProbably not true cause most fans are not very smart. What they actually want is a floor with no cap, and no penalties/spending thresholds. But the commish is trying to break the union. And owners do not give a shit about fans. Like at all. Anywhere. 010
Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 18hIf thats the Monday night countdown crew he is not talking nearly enough. I can already tell you Macfee is talking too much. Marcus spears is talking too much.

Mark Kelly @mark4212.bsky.social · 13/10/2026It was good for a brief priod from like 2012-2014/15. The 2015-2018 it was in its peak of being “important”, while the bots took over. Then it was dogshit. Just my opinion/experience. 000
