Or just don't be jealous

proving my point

Not at all. Another man’s wallet doesn’t concern me, and shouldn’t concern you. Marxist theory doesn’t change that.

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

As peasants we should probably do more, but stuff just keeps coming up ya know? Birthday parties and such

Vehicle issues as well. Every dang time I get a few hundred ahead.

I mean, you're proving his point by associating this immediately with "marxist theory"

No, he's referring to class envy and the idea of deciding how much money anyone "should" have is somehow "too much".

Go ahead and hate Harris all day regarding his conduct as an owner of your team, but what does the amount of money he has have to do with anything?

The only one relating class envy and marxism is him, you're doing the same relation unconciously.

Only so you know, class, as a concept goes beyond and before marxism and marxism isn't even the first theory to talk about class struggle.

As to what the amount of money he has had to do with anything, i think that question is self-explanatory. His money is what allows him to be the owner, and being the owner because you're rich means you're seeing the team as an investment most probably and not in competition terms.

Even the owner of a team like the warriors isn't paying the tax because he loves the titles, he's doing so because being in San Francisco allows him to make profit even if he pays the tax, something small market teams cannot do.

This is no so difficult to understand.

Marry me.

[NYSixersFan]

Yes, it appears Harris is one of the leading contenders. Say it ain't so!! He's originally from the DC area.

Maybe he'll end up selling the Sixers, because having him own two of my teams is not ideal.

Skins fans want Snyder gone and just about any owner would be better at this point, but can't we do better than Harris? UGH!

It's not difficult to understand at all. Your theories about Marxism and class envy or struggle aside, the topic is Harris buying a team, not his bank account.

The days of owners as fans who buy teams simply out of love for the team and the city are pretty much extinct . They're all rich people buying teams as an investment or a status toy, and like you said, paying the tax is dependent on whether they can still be profitable.

If Harris is being cheap and refusing to invest in the product on the floor, or is meddling in basketball personnel matters, he deserves to be criticized. Commenting on how much money anyone "should" be able to have couldn't be more irrelevant.

You're saying that the amount of money he has, on one hand, is irrelevant. While on the other say is fine to complain about him being cheap as hell and that teams are being bought like luxury toys to profit.

Are you even reading yourself?

[Jailblazers7]

Billionaires get to buy sports teams, influence politics, commit crimes, and generally treat the earth like their personal playground. The very least we can do is allow ourselves the pleasure of roasting them and complaining about them on the internet.

I know you believe you are incredibly clever, but I was very clear. The amount of money he has is completely irrelevant. If he, as a team owner, is not allowing proper roster building due to not wanting to spend the money necessary, then he is open to criticism, regardless how much money he has. It's not his wealth that is the issue, it is how he chooses to run the business, in this case a professional sports team.

It's really not that difficult, although I'm sure you'll continue to beat the dead horse.

Different story then. Have at it.

Pretending the idea of class consciousness is separate from Marxist theory is simply semantics at this point, an academic sleight of hand. Any modern writing on the subject almost always turns to Marx within the first two paragraphs.

What's the scorecard for an owner? Most would say it concerns not meddling in basketball ops and being willing to spend on a winner. Therefore the reason you criticize Harris for being cheap is not because of wealth but rather the state of the team, akin to ripping Glenn for poor rotations.

The point here is, what, if only we had laws to force companies and billionaires to spend more money and limit wealth accumulation we'd all be better off? A salary cap on life, so to speak? Once you hit the cap, then; you have no reason to continue. Seems like a lot of missed opportunity to me.

[HartfordWhalers]

Would be interesting to know who might buy the Sixers then.

I'm not sure I would want to swap basketball for football, but I can see the desire for the ownership to be where I lived.
