Doesthe Premeirship have a salary cap? Every major sporting league in the US does with the exception of baseball. Baseball does do some revenue sharing though so the rich help the poor. A few years ago, a shitty little team in Florida called the Marlins beat the Yankees who spend more money then anyone. Because of revenue sharing, the Yankees basically bought the Marlins a world series. Think of it as sports welfare. Dark Lord Al knows all about it he loves it, think it's great that the little guys get a break from the government

But anyways, it works in baseball not just because of that revenue sharing but because each club has several farm league teams who compete and they can call up players from anytime and have exclusive rights to. So the real good teams will not spend half as much money as the big Yankees and Red Sox in Free Agency but instead they can build players in their farm league, sign them for pennies on the dollar of what the huge names get and win with them. That's how baseball makes the free agency work so that this biggest spenders don't always win. I don't know if they have that safeguard in Premiership.

Nope with every big signing it seems to grow and grow, players are on massive salaries now, largely due to huge businessmen investing in the market.

Man, baseball!

I can understand any of the American games but that....I actually like watching it, but not a clue what in the hell is going on!

I guess it's the same as me watching Cricket it makes no sense.

Baseball is fairly simple.

A pitcher pitches to a guy who tries to hit the ball between the lines and away from all the defense on the field. Uniforms help. Cricket is just weird though I don't understand such a strange game.

Cricket too is messed up, although its becoming quite popular here.

For me boxing is my one and only. Although I'll watch other sports (rugby would be a favourite) I rarely have time to follow any of the seasons properly because of training or work.

I'd like to play some basketball again.

Basketball is great. I love basketball I play for hours on hours every day it's really great. My favorite game to play in the world and my second favorite to watch. But I like all sports to be honest, don't follow them all but I generally like them all.

I used to play basketball alot when I was younger.

I was nothing special, I rarely played with anyone but my friends, but I greatly enjoyed it.
I was a good shot too.

I'd jusyt like to play a little indoor now with some decent sized teams.

I wish I had an indoor court to play though I am going to try to walk on at my junior college I think. Don't know how that will work out but I really want to. Haven't played on a nice hardcourt in a long time.

I hear there is a good documentary about the Irish National Basketbal team I haven't seen it though.

I hear that the Warriors just signed Elton Brand. So it almost evens out depending on how well Brand has recovered from his season ending injury.

I think it's a good addition to the Clips old seasoned vet who can bring this and pass it around to a younger team.

Was really surprised at this...
