Given your take on how big business unfairly capitalizes on folk, and is a detriment to a fair, equal, and just society......

I wonder how you feel, view, professional sport franchises?

They often get extremely advantages funding not available to Joe Sixpack, often times even upsetting normal working folks lives, with imminent domain actions, that tear away their homes for these professional stadiums expansions.....

Lots of these folk are forced to accept lower than reality market values, and can never climb back to that spot that once enjoyed economically, before they were moved....

Not only this Sir, but think about the cost of providing security, policing, traffic, etc, that drains local budgets on money that might be spent on schooling, heathcare, etc.

And furthermore, this condoning, promoting, sanctioning, of professional sports often leads to confrontations, ill feelings, and can lead to civil unrest, as it pit folk against folk, often with anger, emotions erupting into chaos, that once again, drains our budgets to confront and control....

Often spilling over into personal lose to businesses, that just happen to be in the wrong place as well.....costing all of us more to buy/purchase/support, the local economy.

And this one Sir, which I am not sure we can ever gauge the effects of (it), as it might not be revealed for years, or even decades, when it could possible surface in a persons life in a negative way, causing much damage, harm, and grief to many innocent people, we just don't know.

And what I am referring to is bullying to young children by their peer group, because they can't afford to buy/wear these often expensive sport team apparel.....
A deep and hurtful scar at such a young impressionable age might never heal properly.

We just can't ascertain, sadly.    

Are huge profits worth the chance......????

Love to hear what you think senator.

Keep it real ray - if you have any clue of what Bernie's platform is, you know what his position would be on your post.

There's nothing wrong with capitalism.

The hyperbole in your post is way beyond reason.  It's kind of silly to blame professional sports for "confrontations".

The market will support paying those athletes anything they want.  Once the crowds go away, then the sport goes.  Let the owners make their cash.

There's nothing to explain if you understand english.

No one is lying.

Again mn - there's nothing in those statements that want to bring down capitalism - it's about reigning it in.

But I guess you'd like to live in an oligarchy - well I don't.

(oh, and keep using all those smileys -it makes you look much more credible!)
