Now if this doesn't prove how pathetically shitty the NYT's shitstinking elites cover the news, then nothing will!
"Rodriguez Not Greedy by Standard of Wall St." by KEN BELSON
Alex Rodriguez’s decision to spurn the Yankees and test his worth as a free agent has the team’s fans smarting, not just because his big bat will most likely be missing from the lineup next year, but also because the $30 million a year he is thought to be seeking seems so outsize.
After all, to the fans in the bleachers, that kind of money could buy a lot of hot dogs, peanuts and beer.
Yet even if Rodriguez gets what he seeks, he would still make just a fraction of what many hedge fund managers, real estate moguls and top-flight executives in New York pull in.
And yet the shit MSM gets us all hopping mad about "those ballplayers!!!"
See how it works, reader?
Get shit-slurping Amurkns to be angry at the ballplayer -- while the LOOTING, the LYING and the WAR PROFITEERING by Wall Street and the government are CONVENIENTLY CAST ASIDE and DISCARDED!!!!
Not fooleyed anymore, stinkshits!
Trader Monthly, a lifestyle magazine for Wall Street, annually ranks the income of the top 100 traders in the world. This year, the last on the list made $50 million, while the top trader earned $1.5 billion. (Yes, that is “b” as in “billion.”)
In ONE YEAR!
But YOU couldn't use a teeny-tiny shit squirtlet of that, couldcha, readers?
Even those who fail at their jobs can make more than Rodriguez. E. Stanley O’Neal, the chairman and chief executive of Merrill Lynch who, after his company wrote off $8.4 billion, was expected to resign, could make at least $159 million in a separation package. That is about as much as Mr. O’Neal made in his less than five years in the post.
Failure = Success in Bush's AmeriKa!!!!!
Which is why I'm a poor winner typing on a keypad!
Given these kinds of numbers, people in some corners of the city are applauding Rodriguez’s goal of adding millions of dollars to his paycheck, even as he gives up the three-year potential of $91 million left on his contract.
Here is where the shit gets deep!
The American public is going to poll about 90% unfavorable on the dough A-Rod makes!
And yet the shitbag NYT is going to say it is a WHOLE DIFFERENT BALL GAME!!!!!
James L. Melcher, founder and chief executive at Balestra Capital, a hedge fund in New York:
“Not only do I have no problem with it, I’m cheering him on. Ballplayers work every day, they risk serious injury, and they travel all the time. I don’t begrudge him a penny.”
How much does a SOLDIER in Iraq clear, sir?
Yeah, BASEBALL is TOUGH!
Mr. Melcher added: “Too many C.E.O.’s get appointed because they were just there, and then they stuff the board with their friends, and their compensation goes up and up and up regardless of how they perform. That’s not the American way.”
ASSHOLE BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!
But it IS, Jim, it IS!!!!!!
Even some Yankee fans who are crying about the loss of Rodriguez, who is favored to win the Most Valuable Player award, say he and his agent, Scott Boras, are right to seek whatever the market will bear.
Even the shit-swilling public wants A-Rod to do well!!
Then WHY the BOOS when he failed in the clutch?
This is some SERIOUS NYT BS right here!!!!
Pfffffffffftttttt!!!!!
Ty Wenger, the editor of Trader Monthly: “Boras has the No. 1 company in the baseball world, and if he’s not taking the company public, he’s an idiot. By going, he allows the other 29 teams to create a feeding frenzy.”
There are some financiers who say Rodriguez could make more by sticking with the Yankees, even if it cost him a few million dollars a year. The Yankees, they reason, are the best brand in sports, and by staying with them until his retirement, Rodriguez could make even more in endorsements and investments with business executives.
Joseph P. Beninati, a partner at Antares Investment Partners, a high-end real estate firm based in Greenwich, Conn:
“It’s a very shortsighted decision that does not take into consideration how he could translate New York into his post-career career. New York has the most influential businessmen. He might make a few extra million per year, but he’s giving away the relationships.”
No one likes him, dumb-dumb!!!
That's WHY he is LEAVING!
A-Rod is an ASSHOLE!
A RICH, SPOILED ASSHOLE!!
Athletes like Tiki Barber, Magic Johnson and Tom Seaver, he said, have become successful businessmen because they cultivated relationships they made in Los Angeles, New York and other financial capitals.
Still, if Rodriguez invests the money from his next contract wisely, it may not matter much how much more he earns after he retires.
Right! How much does the guy fucking need, anyway?
Hell, we are all living of his shit squirts!!!!
Daniel Alpert, a partner at Westwood Capital, a boutique investment bank in New York that specializes in mortgage and related securities:
“There’s nothing coldblooded about it. He’s pricing himself to what the market will bear. This isn’t charity.”
I'll bet this guy and the war-profiteers get along real well!
After all, the cost of living for the superwealthy is rising, too. The fanciest town houses, condominiums and estates from Manhattan to Greenwich routinely cost more than $10 million.
Earlier this year, a three-bedroom condo at the Ritz-Carlton New York at 50 Central Park South sold for $27 million."
Oh, yeah, better give A-Rod a BILLION DOLLARS. I
If not, how's poor A-Rod going to survive, readers?
Excuse me. I gotta go get my bowl-of-shit for lunch.
