Detroit Tigers And Your Politicians

The problem with the Detroit Tigers is a microcosm of the problems facing all of us as Americans. See here in Detroit we have the second highest paid team in baseball and much like our politicians in America; we have the best paid players in the game. However, much like our politicians we here in Detroit are getting little bang for our buck, the team was supposed to bring winning to our state and we have nothing of the sort, much like the politicians who recently got elected. Similarly, the organization running the Tigers says that losing all of the games right now is not bad because it means that the chances of a win will improve, doesn’t this sound just like the bs political thinking we are being asked to swallow? How can losing at anything ever be better than winning? I think only a real loser believes that losing improves you in any way whatsoever. Much like politicians we have high priced Detroit Tiger players talking to the media and saying they have little concern for how things are currently going and they hold the fans comments in little or no regard, does this not sound like Washington telling Americans that despite the polls America is on the right track and we really should be in America and that Free Trade is good for American workers but they just don’t know it.

How can the Detroit Tigers say that losing is nothing and we should continue to pay them for high priced tickets even though we are not getting the winning results, well politicians do the same when they raise our taxes and lower our civil services don’t they? Yeah baseball is just a game and the ball players are just playing the game but they are a business as well, and we pay for their product and how dare they say that providing us with an inferior product is acceptable, but then again they see the high priced politicians get away with it so why can’t they? You should not settle for the short end of the stick just as Tiger fans should not settle for losing. Just like we quit buying losing teams baseball tickets we should also consider stopping support for Democrats and Republicans who do nothing to justify their high price salaries. I bet you don’t know how much your baseball teams players make and similarly you probably have no idea how much your states elected politicians make. However, Detroit Tiger baseball players take ytour money and so do politicians and you deserve better from both. You deserve a winning Tiger team in Detroit and you deserve winning politicians in Washington who protect your jobs and provide you with security and civil services. It’s time you get off the bench and into the game, make your team and your politicians win for you, BATTER Up.
