How does anyone else feel that a salary cap of no more than the President earns ($400,000) be placed on a sports figures salary? The sports figure would have to be a voting resident of that community for at least 2 years before being eligible for that team; and the sports team would have the same ethnic makeup as the surrounding community.

when they pointed out to Babe Ruth that he made more money than President Hoover, he replied "I had a better year than he did." Great idea for the makeup of a team, but we should go further. 51% of the team should be female, 10% gay or bisexual, 1% illegal immigrant, 20% over the age of 60 and 20% under the age of 6, 5% asian, etc. A team like that would surely bring the price of tickets down!
