Some of the board grinches can go to sleep at night happy that it just isn't Angels minor leaguers with shitty conditions.

Because, fuck,em.

When is the candlelight vigil?

I think that it would be reasonable to have a big bowl of Bananas available in the club house before and after the games.

@Lou doesn’t give a shit.

You are correct.

MLB is a multi-billion dollar business, I've never understood why minor league players need to find 'host families' to sponsor them like they are some starving Ethiopian child. Why is that even a thing?

[Dtwncbad]

It is now confirmed that the vast majority of the defeated, depressed, mentally deranged, drug addicted homeless people are former minor leaguers with PTSD trauma from sleeping on twin mattresses and eating Taco Bell.

I can’t believe that the movie industry allows so many wannabe actors and actresses to suffer the horror of waiting tables and having roommates while they willingly dedicate years auditioning endlessly to hopefully one day be the one-in-a-million rich actor or actress that makes it.

The rich movie studios really should do better.

The two are not even remotely comparable.

You are right.  The movie studios pay NOTHING to the aspiring actors and actresses auditioning for years.

Studios don't draft actors and retain the rights to which movie they can work on

If they did, the actors and actresses would voluntarily line up by the thousands.

It’s a great idea.

Lets get these guys $600 a month too.

in the history of all the horrible analogies posted on AW over the many years I've been posting here, this is quite possibly the worst I've ever seen.

Thanks.  I personally think it makes a nice point, but you do you.

We all win.

I know.  Actors raw dog it on their own instead of being subsidized.

If we only have limited resources, let’s villify the studios and help the starving actors.

Because MLB is a profit generating  monopoly for the owners?

How much different is this issue and how student athletes are exploited by the NCAA profit machine?
