Dodgers vs. Rays payroll breakdown
It's easy to frame the 2020 World Series as the "haves" against the "have nots." The luxurious Dodgers against the small-market Rays, who struggle to fill their stands even in non-pandemic seasons. An LA ownership group that includes the likes of Magic Johnson against a Rays team paying its current best player less than $200,000 for the entire season.
Sometimes narratives don't add up perfectly, but this one does if you look at each team's payroll. In the pandemic-shortened season, the Dodgers were due to pay their roster $107.9 million, the second-most in baseball behind the Yankees. The Rays paid out $28.3 million, the third-lowest number in baseball, ahead of just the Pirates and Orioles.

Didn’t find a Rugby thread. I’m disappointed with the Pumas. They beat the All Blacks for the first time a couple weeks ago. Beautiful win. Extraordinary match. Sadly, they were demolished 38-0 yesterday. But that’s not all; the team didn’t have the slightest demonstration of respect towards Maradona, while the All Blacks did this:
Quite upsetting, all of it.

European Super League: Uefa furious at 12 major clubs signing up to breakaway plans
- Yeah I just saw it all over twitter. It’s such a disgrace as Gary Neville said:NBQ00
- https://twitter.com/…NBQ00
- Fucking greedy cunts. It seems there’s no more back? At least they will be banned from all other competitions if they proceedNBQ00
- i think so too, fucked up!renderedred
- But it would also mean end of European football as we know it. Such greedy cunts.NBQ00
- i can just imagine hardcore fans fuming over this...renderedred
- roy keane was great too: "it's greed, pure greed."renderedred
- yup, greedy cuntsrenderedred
- and what will this do to the whole league system? premier league would stop existing actually.renderedred
- also heard that all german clubs refused to take part. respect!renderedred
- Most of these clubs are owned by billionaires. They don’t care much about fans or tradition & history. Just $$NBQ00
- JP Morgan is financing it: https://www.skysport…NBQ00
- and most of the owners are not locals which explains their logic...renderedred
- Let them do it. It won't work.
People won't watch it. Fans are leaving already. I reckon it's a bargaining tool. Support your local team.Fax_Benson - Your really local team.Fax_Benson
- All this outrage from famous Liverpool and man utd etc fans is a decade too late. The devil bought their souls long ago. What did they expect.Fax_Benson
- Euroleague basketball has been using this model for over a decade and its thriving. Champions league is only contested by 12 major clubs anyway_niko
- It’s been a farce since they opened it up to 4-5 clubs from the 5 biggest leagues. The days of steua Bucharest or red star Belgrade winning it are long gone_niko
- the romanticism of a local side winning it all also died and it became nothing but a business with the Bosman rule. This is just the next logical shitty step_niko
- It's not about the champions League, which is already in the process of being ruined, but more about all the domestic leagues and 100+ years of history thatFax_Benson
- will be ruined too.Fax_Benson
- Or what you said while I was typing slowlyFax_Benson
- I’ve read different things fax, do you get a sense that they will still compete in domestic leagues but this will be an extra competition, or will these teams_niko
- ...Compete solely in this new super league?_niko

- It’s getting interesting as fifa is threatening to ban participating players from national teams_niko
- Super League is a farce. Destroying football. All these clubs now banned from domestic leagues and players banned from world cup. Greedy cunts.NBQ00
- Wtf is Arsenal and Tottenham doing in there anyway. Arse ending up 10th in the league probably.NBQ00
