Hell no, baseball salaries are nearly double that of NFL players.

>sport where winner is determined by the amount of roids they took
Quote from: Braixen on November 03, 2016, 01:23:37 AM>sport where winner is determined by the amount of roids they tookThis isn't the 90s anymore lolAnd MLB has super strict PED tests/rules these days. First offense is suspension for 50 games, second offense is a 162 game suspension and can't play in the postseason, and the third offense is a lifetime ban from MLB.

I wouldn't expect a spic to be informed.
Quote from: Luciana on November 03, 2016, 12:04:53 AMIt's okay though Verb, I still love you and all that.I actually watched the game with my parents, and if there's one good thing I can say about baseball, it's that it seems like a very gentlemanly sport. Unlike football, all the players looked like polite, respectable human beings. They cut their hair and they had good sportsmanship--never really swearing or getting angry or pissed off in the dugouts, at least from what I saw. That made the whole thing a lot easier to sit through because of how refreshing it was.

There's very very very very rare cases that it slips through one test, not two.

HOLY FUCKTHE CUBS HAVE JUST WON THE WORLD FUCKING SERIES!!!!!Suddenly, all of my life's problems have been inexplicably solved, all thanks to a group of men who scored an arbitrary number of points in a meaningless culturally significant game of baseball!THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!I'm personally elated by this, because they haven't won something this big in a very very long time! And since I live vicariously through my favorite baseball team like a vapid and soulless loser, it feels almost as good as accomplishing something meaningful myself! If only I ever had.THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!Did anyone else see Lebron James in the stands? I was like, oh my gosh! He's just like us! I haven't felt so validated about my miserable existence since the LAST world series, where I saw some OTHER famous people I will never meet on my television!THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!I think sports are a valuable and smart use of our resources. It's very intelligent to spend years of your life training to become the best in the world at hitting small objects with sticks--only to lose and achieve crippling depression as a consolation prize. I think that's beautiful. Sports are beautiful.THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!Later this week, I'll be heading off to the polls to vote for my favored presidential candidate. I really don't like Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, but at the same time, voting for anyone else would just be a waste! Nonetheless, I will vote like the hapless little sheep that I am--after all, I am a sports fan!THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!Come to think of it... Have I ever done anything meaningful with my life?THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!I guess if I think about it, the world really is a terrible place, and we should probably do something about it--but it's so much more fun to sit back and distract ourselves with pointless, superficial entertainments. Baseball provides a socially-acceptable wank that I can share with many people who are just as stupid as me.THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!Hey, do you think if we were as enthusiastic about medicine as we are about men hitting balls with bats for three hours, we would've cured cancer by now?THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!To be honest, I don't even know how baseball works! I don't even know why I root for the team I root for! I just follow the flock for no reason, because it makes me feel good to be a part of something that the public deems important--no matter how artificial and insidiously wasteful it is!THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!For every winner, there is also a loser. In a bracketed competition like baseball, however, there can only be one champion of the World Series. Everyone else is guaranteed to lose--to fail. I celebrate this insidious, wasteful, and inherently self-destructive behavior--with a smile.THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!I'm probably gonna forget about this by next week.THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!But then I'll just move on to the next worthless sporting event!THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIESTHE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIESTHE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIESTHE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIESTHE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIESTHE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES*** GOD BLESS AMERICA ***
