1. Plus the rich bastard owners have demanded closed stadiums for their comfort--even though they

already have enclosed boxes--thereby losing the entire traditional atmosphere and communal enjoyment of games. Yes, there are some games played in cold and snow (rain usually results in a delay). So, what. Those of us who live in winter areas don't mind and those visiting can learn from others how to dress or stay home and watch on tv.

Honestly, I like the open (and fresh) air sensation of open stadiums and baseball parks. I think that is why I've never liked basketball--those unpleasant (and smelly) memories of high school gymnasiums have not been forgotten.

I hate (most) of the wealthy. Why are they so damned revered? It isn't as though (most) of them are actually philanthropists anymore. They just live to screw the rest of us out of everything to feed their own greed...
