Dear UBISOFT, you created great games called Assassin’s Creed over the years and Origins is maybe one of the best yet, although I have not seen Odyssey as of yet for myself.
While I enjoy Origins and love the graphics and game play in it, I am highly disappointed in the fact you limited the map to many players by, making Download Content for two areas of the map necessary to buy to play and finish the game. Why?
I bought the deluxe version of Origins and expected I would be able to finish the game fully by doing so, then I found out there is an Atlas in the game, the shows two areas of the map that are not available to enter without purchasing the DownLoad Content for them at an additional 30.oo dollars. Why?
I had thought of Buying Odyssey also, till I found this out about Origins and you disappointed me greatly that, as the maker of the game you did this to so many customers like myself who paid 80 bucks a shot for the deluxe version. Why?
I understand, you want to make money by creating and selling the game and by making the game expansions or download content too, but, you are cheating those of us who paid for the Deluxe Version, by keeping the ending from us all. It’s not right. Each version of the game should have it’s own ending completely, so that we can finish the game, not by finding out there is more map to it than we thought! I am very disappointed with Ubisoft and the Assassin’s Creed Creators for doing this to customers. Please explain why it was done and when you will give access to the two areas of the map to those of us who paid for the Deluxe Version! Sadly, I bet you won’t an dthat in and of itself will be enough for me to stop buying your games, for I can’t complete the game without the Download Content and the price for one video game now at 59.99, or 79.99 is enough for me, I can’t afford 99.99 a game or 119.99 a game to complete one and I don’t want a game that is suckering us in for more money.

In 15 Days Americans must make some choices at the Polls when they vote. Do you wish to see Social Security get cut, Medicare cut, Medicaid cut? Do you wish to pay for a Wall between us and Mexico or not? Do you want to watch a weak kneed President let Saudi Arabia get away with killing a reporter, or continue to let China, and The United Nations laugh at us all the time or do you want to get back your position in the world as leaders of the free world?
These are just a few of the questions Americans must answer when we vote November 6th, 2018.JUst remember this when you vote, how you vote you will have to live with the results, and it won’t be pretty, if you go republican, believe me!.
I can’t tell Americans how to vote, but I can state what I think on the issues we face, I don’t like nations around the world laughing at us, for the tariffs trump put out and doing it back to us, hurting our jobs and our farmers and auto industry. I don’t want to pay for a wall between usand Mexico no matter who comes for help to our borders. I don’t wish to lose Social Security in anyway or Medicare or Medicaid, do you? If you do your a fool, you medical costs will soar and you will have no medical insurance either, Trump killed Obama Care, and replaced it with nothing. pay the thousands at a clip everytime you go to a Doctor or Hospital, watch them attach your pay and home when you can’t do it. go ahead.
As Ford Motor Company starts laying off workers and cutting back jobs, to keep in business, I remind all it is Trumps tariffs killing those jobs and that company. Sadly, no one will listen, why, because trump has his loyalists all blinded and fooled with bullshit and rants and chants. It’s crap folks, he colluded with Russia, he Obstructed Justice and it will be known very soon when Mueller issues his report to COngress and The White House in Early december, stand by it’s coming.
Vote November 6th, 2018 and I hope we all make the right choices and put a check and balance system back into effect again!

Will America repair itself or continue down the Trumpian road to destruction of itself? Will Americans allow Donald J. Trump to charge them for a wall between America and Mexico? Will Mexico pay for such a wall, Mexico says no and I agree they won’t too!
Will Americans allow the Republican Party and Mitch McConnell, to attack and destroy Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security too? He is targeting what is right now the only medical insurance many elderly and ill people have right now. How many Americans will go broke, bankrupt and end up dying if they kill Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security or reduce them? You Tell me America?
Trump wanted Obama Care gone and so did the Republicans and McConnell and Ryan too. They killed it in such a way it has no teeth to help ill, dying or elderly people anymore. How many americans have now seen their medical bills soar through the roof? The cost of medical coverage in America is crazy and going to get worse for all. Prices rise easily in the medical field. A Ambulance ride for a two mile or three mile ride to a Hospital from your home can hit anywhere from 500 to 6,000 dollars a pop! It’s crazy as hell!
Cancer treatments for a cancer patient will take your life over, they will own you, your home and your children and grandchildrens homes too.IT can’t be paid off in one lifetime, I know I am a Lung Cancer Survivor,taking care of a breast cancer patient, who is terminal, she has gone now from breast cancer to bone cancer and is slowly dying on me and no medical team of doctors or chemo specialist or cancer specialist can save her. Yet, they keep raising the prices for all of it and for treating her period.
Shouldn’t all patients and people in America have the right to health care and cancer treatments? Shouldn’t all of us be able to live a little longer if we are sick, to finish off the things we all wanted to do but couldn’t for most of our lives? I know as a cancer patient myself, and a survivor who got lucky it is what I want to do and i am sure so does my wife!
The Republicans want to kill Social Security too, slowly of course, by lowering the payment already going to those of us who earned it already. Listen we paid in and we did so on the basis of having it to fall back on when we needed it, don’t try to steal it back and stop borrowing from the Social Security Funds, it’s not your private loan organization to take from, it’s the people’s who paid into its.
Major Issues are about to hit America in 17 days when November 6th, 2018 arrives and we all get to vote again. Many say this election is a referendum on Trump and his Presidency, I say it is one on the whole Republican Party. Yet, many are being asked to vote like Trump is on the ballot this time, and to keep the Republican Party, snowballing affect of destroying America from within going, I say stop it now, balance the Government now.
Health Care costs rise, jobs go overseas and companies go out of business daily. Tariffs have now hit American Automobile companies and the rising cost of steel will more than likely kill Ford Motor Company. They are laying off Workers now, because they have to counter the cost of the steel to build the cars they do. Sedans are now becoming a thing of the past too, as they faze them out. SUVs and Trucks will be it for Ford now, Chevy barely hangs on to keep running and other American Automobile Companies are on the edge of going out too. Trump says no, but the facts say otherwise.
American farmers are hit by Trump Tariffs now too and it is costing them millions and billions in the Farm industries that kept America going, which means your food prices for produce and dairy products will rise. Can we afford much more of this kind of leadership in the Senate and House and White House anymore?
As we now get closer to the results of The Mueller Investigation and the facts being revealed I remind all of you what is about to come out, will shock all I am sure. I am as sure as knowing the date and time of my own birth, that proof of collusion with Russia will splash across the front page of newspapers and on television news soon. I know Trump did in fact Obstruct Justice and lies daily to the American People and yet, his backers and loyalist followers stand by a man destroying our country on the world stage and making America and himself look like idiots.
Kim Jung Un is laughing at Trump, He failed there and we all know it. Saudi Arabia now is laughing at Trump also as they got away with committing murder on a reporter and they won’t pay any price and we all know it. As Trump and Saudi Arabia, search for an explanation and story to cover it all up, just so Trump won’t lose the arms sale to them. Sad!
Trump went to the United nations and talked about how great his Administration is doing for America and the United Nations representatives just laughed at him. Never in Americas, 247 yea history has the United Nations laughed at an American President they did now! Oh they were laughing with me he says, bullshit!
Do Yourself a Favor if Your an American, COme November 6th, 2018, Vte Democratic, turn the House and The Senate Blue and put checks and balances into place to keep America in place, we don’t need to lose Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, we don’t need anymore Tariffs to kill our industries and we don’t need a wall between us and Mexico, we need a President who can control our borders as so many others have without a wall, for 247 years. If a wall is built between us and Mexico it is a waste of billions of money. Mexican are not stupid folks. they will tunnel under, or go over, they will come around by sea. We can’t stop it with a wall, we can stop it with laws and border patrol agents. A wall is nothing to them, they want in for their own purposes and there is no way we can stop them unless we make it not worth their efforts to come here.
In the end, Trump really is destroying America from within and it is why the Russians and Putin helped him win the Office and Position. He is doing just what Putin wants him to do and he is undermining, and slowly cutting up America and handing it over to Russia one move at a time. Sadly, too many Americans are blind to it all, Wake UP!
November 6th, 2018 will be a day when Americans will have to decide, do we all let The Republicans continue to attack Social Security, medicare and Medicaid, do we let them try to build a wall on our dime,that won’t help in anyway, do we let a President who was laughed at by The United Nations, and North Korea and Saudi Arabia do as he pleases?
We need to control our country and it is not a dictatorship,nor are we an autocratic country or communistic one, lets keep it a Republic, Lets keep it free, Let’s make it what it was built as a Republic run by a Democracy, of We The People!. Vote November 6th, 2018, to save The Republic, To Save The Nation as it was put forth by our forefathers.

OK, I am a Sports fan in many ways, Baseball I am a Big Boston Red Sox Fan and pray they win it all every year. My step-father who is the only dad I ever knew was a Boston Red Sox fan too, I got it from him! We would sit and watch the Red Sox each year as much as we could together and they never won in dad’s life he died in October 1990 or Cancer.
I at least have seen the Red Sox win it all more than once and hope they can do so again this year. I am now 62, and have been a fan since I was old enough to remember.
I am also a fan of The Boston Celtics in Basketball and always have been so was Dad, I got the Boston bug from him of course and i am proud of it whether they win or lose. Doesn’t matter to me, I have only been to Boston’s Fenway Park once, it was in 2013, and I saw them beat the New York Yankees on that day, but only because I had a Lung Cancer Operation on September 4th, 2013 and survived it and my sister and her man had season tickets her man got from a friend. Haven’t been since and can’t afford it these days. Never Been to Boston Garden or the Celtics new home either. Can’t afford it.
The place Dad and I differed was on The National Football League. I choose the Minnesota Vikings as my team as a kid, because of their color purple and their toughness. never been to their games either but I do track their record and pray they can win a Super Bowl in my life, they just get there and lose it, it seems. But again the price of tickets and travel is a killer for any sports fan of any major sports Franchise, and i am Retired, Disabled, and on Social Security and Disability from my military service where I served 16 years.
Having the Sports bug makes it tough on the women in any man’s life and I have compromised and gave up watching all of it on television these days. My wife is also a cancer victim, a breast cancer victim who has evolved from 2006 when it started as breast cancer to today in 2018, where it is now metastatic breast cancer spread to her bones and her tissues. I take her in to Harold Leever Cancer Center, in Waterbury Connecticut three out of four Thursdays a month, and an xgeva shot also. I sit and bullshit with the patients and their relatives or watch the tv there or end up on my cell phone, looking at the internet these days. I am 62, but my wife is now 78 and just had her birthday in September and we had our 18th anniversary also. We met in 1993, and have been together now 25 years. So now a days each day is important to us both and when she does die, we have accomplished a lot together over the years. I owe her and I know it, and I will never be afraid to admit it either.
Today is Thursday again, soon enough we shall shower her and dress her and I will drive and take her in again for chemo and her shot. I will sit and watch her, and keep her company and everybody else there too, as much as I can. Where she goes I go, what she needs I get if I can. I don’t worry about myself at all really, my concern is her period, I am covered by the Veterans Administration when needed for medication for my back, PTSD and anything I need. So I never worry about me, but her i must worry about daily, I have no idea if she will wake up each day or not, I sit and wait for her to do so, and I watch her to see if she is breathing each day to be sure, I check her that way.
Recently we found that at her size, she is 5ft. tall, the recliner was too big for her, so to keep her comfy we got her another smaller one to fit her. I don’t sleep in bed and haven’t in more than two years, I use the couch or the big recliner and she sleeps in her smaller one. I won’t go upstairs and leave her alone to sleep in her chair, I can’t do it, I have to keep her company and watch her. I cook for her and I clean the nest I can, I do all the chores and shopping. I don’t mind because I owe her that much and more, I love her.
We shall see what the future brings for us both, together and God help me when she goes, for I know not what I shall do. I do know that the house is paid off, the cars are paid for and we did the best, we could for our children and for the grandkids too.
I am leaving a Legacy for my Grandkids to see and maybe who knows they will read some of them. I have written and will continue to attempt to write small books as I go along. If Anyone is interested they can find them on Amazon Kindle E-books- https://www.amazon.com/William-McCurrach/e/B00CQMGTSM/ref=dbs_p_ebk_rwt_abau here the Link is anyone is interested!

God Bless to All

I am a man, I am 62 years old, and been around the world many times. I don’t care what anyone says, Donald John Trump is a liar and bullshit artist!
No man chasing a woman, and begs to have sex with her and pays her 130 grand to keep her mouth shut and then denies he did it. Then turns around and finally admits to having the affair and paying her off to keep quite, and then calls her horseface! Lol, He is a Joke, Hey Donald, OH, Donald- I love Trump calling Stormy, Horse Face, didn’t stop his tiny from chasing her down and having sex with her did it?
I can’t serve my country I have bone spurs in my feet! You Draft Dodging Coward, what Doctors did daddy pay to keep you safe Donald!
I only got one million from my father and I borrowed it and had to work to make me richer. Lie- you were given 413 million at age 8, and have committed bankruptcy now 6 times.
So Many lies, so much bullshit out of one man, is sick!
Oh just so no one tries to bullshit about me, I served my country for 16 years in three branches, Army, Army National Guard and U.S. Navy. I am a Disabled Veteran. Leave my Social Security alone, leave my medicare alone, leave my Disability payments alone too, you richie rich bitch Trump!
I heard Melania say she was the most abused woman in the world, the most abused, you do love marrying submissive women from other countries you can control don’t you Donald? She should pack up her bags and Baron’s too and go back to Trump Tower and file for divorce from you and take the Tower and kick your ass out too. All these affairs and the money you paid out is sad, wasn’t Melania enough for you asshole?
You committed fraud and your father did too, evading taxes all these years now, and getting rich off the american taxpayer, lets see the tax returns Donald, if you dare!
North Korea laughs at you, Russia laughs at you, The United Nations laughed at you too, your a joke!. You put Tariff’s on our allies and European Allies too. Idiotic asshole, look twice your tariff’s are causing American Companies big problems, look at Ford, they are laying people off to pay for steel to build cars because of you. Idiot!
You can’t keep anything straight, you deny, distract and lie, say one thing one day and the next backtrack and say another, what a sad excuse for a human being you are Herr Drumph! What a Sad President indeed!

Donald John Trump is the most ridiculous President in American History! He is assine and idiotic about too many things, for instance the following:
Elizabeth Warren is a bad Pocahontas !. Pocahontas was not a bad person and if you look in history and at the real life one you would know that.
Here is the Wikipedia page on Pocahontas, the real one read for yourself,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocahontas.
Donald John Trump attacks anyone who he fears may run against him and he doesn’t care what he says to defame them or who he says it about. Pocahontas, helped the settlers in Virginia, and she lived from 1596 to 1617. To defame a woman, who helped the settlers in Virginia establish and live in America is wrong. History is taught in Elementary Schools and Grammar Schools and High Schools in America Trump, maybe you forget who you are trying to defame and let your emotions, greed and anger over being attacked politically cloud your memory or your brain.
Elizabeth Warren you may not like because she stands up to you, she doesn’t take your shit and she is tired of it all. Whether you agree or disagree with her views, her political beliefs of not, there is no right on your part to defame the American Indian Nation or Pocahontas or change the facts, it’s basically defamation of character. Sadly, we watch you and see you clearly on television Trump, you attack, defame and clearly can’t debate the issues or admit your mistakes to anyone. It’s sad!
If people want to laugh at something take a look at your family name, Trump didn’t start as Trump did it Donald, lol! Drumpf is a lil silly for a name before it was changed to Trump isn’t it? Why don’t we discuss your family history also. Like how your father, made you a millionaire by eight years old, or how you dodged the draft five times, (bone spurs). How you dodged and committed fraud on your taxes and won’t release the taxes to the American People!
I am not about to stoop to the low level of attack that you use all the time, the point is this, your attacking Elizabeth Warren and calling her Pocahontas and using it in a defamatory manner is wrong, not only to Senator Warren, or Pocahontas, and The Indian People of America, but it also shows a lack of respect for history and facts. Sadly, you have been doing this all along, ever since you came down the elevator in Trump Tower and declared yourself running for President. Why, the American People who already have problems with discrimination and prejudice and who have seen you now attack mexicans, blacks, and now American Indians in such a way as to set in motion racial divides and division in america, would allow this is crazy. Why do you do this?
Donald John Trump needs to be stopped, he is causing racial divides, he is dividing our allies and hurting the world economy and our own by the tariffs he has put in place. he has caused friction between Mexico and Canada and us. He has angered the European Allies we have and he kisses the ass of Dictators and Vladimir Putin, he is weak and sad. He is nothing more than Putin’s puppet!

As the election gets closer President Trump is playing the strength card or trying to and demeaning the Democrats in anyway he can. Look, 2016 is two years gone by already, Hillary Clinton is not to blame for any messes currently happening in the world, nor is President Obama, Trump is. Plain and simple folks, Trump started the Tariff Wars, is the one who hurt our farmers and manufacturers with it all no one else.
I tire of hearing how great he is, and how we were going to war with North Korea under Obama, bullshit, if Obama wanted war he would have pulled the trigger or went to Congress to ask to pull the trigger he didn’t.
As To Hillary’s so called crimes, more bullshit, if Hillary was guilty of any crimes what so ever they would have been charged and prosecuted by now against her, they haven’t even come to light or been brought up by anyone in the Justice department. Trump plays distraction folks, whenever he is in trouble or thinks he is in trouble he points fingers at Obama, Or Hillary clinton, instead of standing tall and taking the hit, he is weak. Sadly, his loyal supporters, and blind loyalist will support him no matter what, because they are just that blinded by his bullshit.
I watched his interview with Lesley Stahl last night on 60 Minutes on CBS, and let me tell you something, even Lesley Stahl called him out for distracting from the truth and lying. His special tactic is distract,avoid,and lie outright. He specializes in a program of distraction, avoidance, and blaming others, he has never once in his almost two years in office or before he was elected, stood up and taken responsibility for anything he has done or failed to do. He hides from it all. He failed to answer the call to serve his country not once, not twice, not three times but four times, crying about bone spurs in his feet, yet never once in his medical history or anywhere else is there proof of him having operations to fix the bone spurs. daddy paid well to keep him home and out of the military didn’t he?
He lied on how he made his fortune too, self made man my ass, he was a millionaire at 8 years old, his dad gave him everything he has. Donald John Trump is a liar and phoney in the White House period and in life in general.
Melania Trump his wife stated to the world and press she is the most abused woman in the world, as she put it. I can understand why, she married Donald Trump and if it were not for her having a son with him, this marriage would be over too, the only reason it isn’t is because she likes being First Lady, and her son Baron.
Trump lies about colluding with Russia too, if you want proof just count the number of Russians indicted so far in the Mueller probe and the people now turning and working with Mueller. Trump colluded with the russians I have no doubt he did it through Manafort,Don Jr. and yes Roger Stone. But that’s my opinion and belief folks and he can avoid, distract and lie all he wants, I don’t buy his bullshit!
As we go into the 2018 midterm elections, we need to balance his power and the government badly, he has already corrupted the Supreme court with Kavanaugh, making it a conservative majority. Yet, Chief Justice Roberts didn’t let Kavanaugh slide either did he, he sent the reports of his actions and failures to the Colorado Circuit Court for review didn’t he? I wonder why?
Trump is like a child in too many ways, he is not fit to be President at all, he is being supported by crutches all around him. We all know it too!
As we move into the 2018 election in three weeks now, we need to vote Democrat and make the House and Senate Democrat also. For a President like Trump, running amok in the White House can destroy America! He is tearing at America’s Structure, it’s Constitution and our Bill of Rights all at once. Sadly, we are suffering because, he was elected and it will not get better, it can only get worse with his ideas and ways.
America Wake UP. Wake UP NOW, Vote Democrat and put the end to Putin’s Puppet!

Election 2018, the Mid term elections of Donald J, Trump’s Presidency are approaching quickly now. Twenty Two days till the election hits and people need to get to the polls on November 6th, 2018. We need to break up the control and majority of the Republican Party and stop what is happening to women’s rights, gun laws, the lack of action against global warming and a President who wants to build a wall we don’t need.
We also need to fire up the Democratic Party in all ways and find ways to elect democrats in all states at all levels and take back the House and the Senate if possible. Too many Americans do not understand the check and balance system of the United States Government and how it is set up. Unless we balance the Government as soon as possible too many things will happen that will affect women’s rights, no action will be taken on gun laws, Social Security and Medicare will come under attack also. Elderly people will lose benefits and medical costs will rise big time for all, for their is no real Medical Insurance in America these days, Trump and his people destroyed Obama Care. Millions of elderly americans are now getting hit with medical bills they can’t afford to pay anymore and nothing is being done to bring the cost down for the average american family.
Trump’s tariffs that he is so proud of are now affecting the American farmers, The American Auto industry and the world as a whole and tearing apart our relationships with countries who are our allies across the world. Yet, no one is taking action to stop this foolishness!
Look I know, I am against trump and I have plenty of good reasons to be and so should you, if you have a brain of your own to think with. Too many americans are blind loyalist followers of Trump and will let him do as he pleases and he believes will re elect him again. If that happens in America, you might as well hope you can farm your own lands to survive and eat, for jobs are going to disappear again, look at Ford,look at the farmers, look at JC Penny, Sears, Macy’s, Bertucci Restaurants and more all disappearing from the american economy and the streets. Empty building lay lifeless, people scrounge for food and search for jobs, the american housing and construction market is going south. think about it folks, please.
Trump’s main thing is lying, and cheating and breaking laws, he has done it all his life. He lied about how he made his fortune, Daddy handed it to him folks. He lied on his tax returns and so did his father. he is lying about collusion with russia during the 2016 election and he should be ashamed of himself, the poor lil rich kid needed the russians to beat a woman for president! He lies about Obstruction, Collusion to you and me daily he averages a total of a dozen lies to the american people daily and his loyal followers still kiss his ass for what? In the end, his followers who follow him so blindly and so loyal will learn they too are gonna get screwed by Trump soon enough when it all catches up to them. Their jobs will go south too, their homes will disappear and the economy will not keep growing soon enough you all will see. Sadly, they are blinded by Trump’s speeches and his rhetoric he has been spewing now for years, there is an old saying Trump Followers, Fool me once, Ok, Fool me twice, shame on me, guess what you are about to be fooled again if Republicans win in 2018, don’t let it happen.
While all he has done to America starts to catch up to americans and it will, not only overseas, but at home too, Trump continues to tell the lies he has told from day one.
He earned his fortune, lie.
Mexico will pay for the wall, lie.
Jobs will grow and the economy will soar, lie.
I didn’t collude with Russia- Lie, He did!
I never Obstructed Justice lie again.
My Tariffs will help Americans, lie, Ford is going under, farmers are losing.
Stop and think America, we look like fools to the world now under Trump!
North Korea will never give up the Nukes, Kim Jung Un is laughing at us.
Syria is laughing at us too, for their so called leader is laughing at Trump
and no one is stopping him.
China is laughing at us too, he put Tariffs on China and they doubled them
back on us.
He put Tariffs on Mexico and Canada too, our allies and neighbors and
friends, stupid. Now all are angry at us.
He even had the gall to put tariffs on European Nations, that are our allies.
As we go forward today in america, Americans are hurting more and more each day and no one is helping the poor or homeless in America, no one cares. We have people sleeping in cardboard boxes and under bridges on our streets. People begging for food on street corners and Trump says we are doing great, what a lie look around.
Sadly while all I am saying is true there will be the naysayers, the Trump Supporters who will bash my every word and try to say how great Trump is doing, but look around the world folks, nations are laughing at us for electing a President who has no idea what he is doing. Even the United Nations laughed at him as he bragged about all he has done for America, think about that, that has never happened in the united nations or United states History, an American President laughed at in the UN.
I know i will vote Democratic, I never voted for Trump in the first place and never will again. Help balance the American Government, help stop the madness that is Trump and his Republicans that dance to his tune. Vote Democratic on November 6th, 2018! Let’s get our country back and balanced!

Sports is in fact getting out of control. Sporting venues cost millions sometimes billions of dollars to build, and only the rich can afford to have a stadium or team in the NFL, or in Major League Baseball or in The National BasketBall Association, these days. As team owners build new stadiums and arenas, the old ones come down and perennial winners and losers keep happening where does major league sports, go next?
Rivalries in Sports like the NFl and Major League Baseball fire up the leagues in their own ways, for instance, Green Bay vs Minnesota in the NFL or in Major League Baseball The Boston Red Sox vs the New York Yankees. If these leagues wish to survive and continue in business, there is going to have to be some changes, in how they operate.
One is the price of the stadiums, and building new ones, no one can truly afford to keep building new ones these days. No owner of a Pro-Sports Franchise can just flip out billions for a new structure and not raise ticket prices. Nor can these owners, continue to pay absorbent pay checks to players for paying pro sports.
There needs to be a compromise to all of it, for it is snowballing out of control these days. I remind all the Owners of pro-sports teams of the following; 1) Any sport can only attain a certain level of attendance, due to the fact of the prices of tickets to get into one and the paychecks you are paying the players.2) By raising ticket prices, you are going to raise yourselves right out of business.3) Paying players the high prices to throw, run with,or hit a ball is one thing, paying then in the millions is another. The revenue you get from a game being played is divided up to pay the bills and salaries of the people you use to make the teams work and the facilities too.
Many in America today can not afford to pay a hundred dollars to sit through a baseball or football game or spend a day out in that way anymore. The Length of a Football game in the NFL is at minimum three to four hours. The Length of a baseball game can be anywhere from three hours up to sometimes 10 to 12 hours.Regular Seaso The price of Tickets are high priced and the cheap seats are not cheap anymore either. Food and munchies at a game or drinks are not normal prices like what you buy at a grocery store either they are ridiculous. A hot dog, costs about 5 to six bucks a shot, a soda or beer 7.50 or up and people are not allowed in if carrying their own food or drinks, they must buy what’s there. Why? One word comes to mind in all of this, GREED!
Let me remind the Owners and Leagues and Players of something, making a living playing a game is a pretty easy lifestyle overall. In Elementary and High Schools across America, boys and girls play sports for free, no charge or salary for them. They play for exercise or for fun and joy, winning is important folks, but, is it that important it should cost millions to player a player to play it?
Sports are really just entertainment when you get to the professional levels, so why are teams paying players millions? If the teams got together and told these players, who deem themselves so great and important to these games, yes we will pay you but only to a certain pay scale and we are not going higher in pay checks then, the rising cost of sports would lower.
Major league Baseball and the National Football League as well as the National Basketball Association are all killing off the games and sport of it all. Because of the prices and the salaries, and the price of building new stadiums, and way it works now, teams that win championships, are even losing in the end. The one who is losing most though through it all is the sports fans. Sadly, greed and gluttony will destroy sports in America and the World soon enough.It is doing a good job of it today, as people stop watching games on television and special networks don’t get bought anymore, on cable networks or satellite ones either. Sport Stars are having a hee day for sure getting 184 million to throw a football, or one hundred and something to throw a baseball for a season, they live high on the hog. While the fan who likes to watch them and track their records and accomplishments can’t afford to attend a game anymore. So at some point, the Owners and lEagues and Players are going to have to realize, they are playing in stadiums with diminishing audiences and less people in the stands.When that happens there will only be one choice to make for the sports franchise owners and team owners and leagues, lower the prices, go back to basics, and stop paying athletes, so damn much, and remember it’s just a sport, even if it is played by adult men and women. We are not Romans and they are not gladiators in colosseum, fighting lions and bears and beasts, they are just men and women who are gifted in some way.
I love the Boston Red Sox, I suffered with my dad, as they lost years after years, and then finally turned it around and won. I sat with dad watching the Red Sox, year after year even when they could not win and dad died before they did it. I am a fan yes, I also like my NFL team the Vikings too and the Celtics from the NBA. yet I can’t pay for networks and cable companies to stream it into my hoe so I can watch them. prices for even television these days are crazy. Cable Prices are rising, oil prices rise too, the cost of living in America rises each day we live. Lets face one fact, about sports, they are not for the elderly, they are not the means and ends to everything in the world, and they are played for either fun or to make money period. The price of watching them, attending them and being a fan of any professional sport or team is rising far out of the ordinary man or woman’s price range these days. It needs to change or the Sports Leagues will indeed be playing to empty stadiums and ball parks.
Where do you start, well if I were a pro sports team owner, I would start lowering the players salaries and contracts, lowering the ticket prices to see the games live, and finding a new way to finance the arena, stadiums and ball fields too. I would lower the cost in anyway I could for the fan, because without the fans, there will be no audience for the pro leagues.
I know, unless you make over a hundred grand a year, you can’t afford to buy season tickets to any of the pro sports teams. I also know that the food at these games are jacked up and crazy and so is the price of memorabilia and trinkets to take home. So in the end here is my way of saying things must end, the more people who don’t watch the Pro Sports Leagues any more, the better, maybe when the numbers get low enough, they can’t get what they are asking for, they will finally, get the message ad lower the pricing and find ways to make it work.The only way, any professional sports league or team, will get the message I am telling you, is if, the fans stop attending and paying the prices, they ask for, and it affects the teams and leagues revenue flows and the Owners and Players wallets. It’s time for the fans to speak and stop the madness, ann make Professional Sports realize they are gouging and draining the fans wallets and we can’t afford it anymore. Stop watching, stop paying the cable companies to stream the games and in the end stop letting grown men rob you blind to see a ball game you played for free when young yourself.

There is a song out that reminds me daily of the world we live in and one of the truths we live with. That Song is called, Only The Good Die Young by Billy Joel. In many ways it is a honest story of the ones who pass away, who had so much good to them, that we shall miss them forever,it also reminded me at the time it gave out of the possibilities of those I love most dying.
My Personal experience with people dying has always been with them going younger than they should, what about you?
I lost my Grandfather on mom’s side, at 71 years old to cancer. I lost my Grandmother on the same side at 64. Gone but not forgotten at least by me. As time rolled on I lost My father, real one at 55 years old cancer, my step-father at 59 years old cancer, my mother 60 years old cancer. yes I know what it means when they say only the good die young because it has happened to those i care about in my life many times.
Recently, a few years ago now,The first girl I ever kissed died also at around 60 years old too. She had lived since the age of 16 with ovarian cancer, and still managed to give birth to two sons and marry twice. She lived a quiet but happy life, with her music and cats and boys, in run down apartments and practical poverty, and never complained, she always smiled and had a good word for all she met or spoke to. So Yes, the good do die young, if you want proof take a look at history.
John F. Kennedy, John Lennon, Then head to Otis Redding, Harry Chapman and Jim Croce. Many artist who could sing, create and entertain went you too, Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, for a few more, so you see my point here.
Many of them died without knowing the effect their presence made upon the world and society. It seems to me that the Song had some truth to it in many ways.
While some of the best songs ever written fade from memories across America and the world, every now and then, some come flying back, for they are now called classics, as new artist, like those on The Voice attempt to hit stardom and fame. I was watching the Voice recently when a singer came on in the try out or auditions and slowly sang Jim Croce’s Time in a Bottle. It reminded me, that it is another truth in a song, for none of us can save Time in Bottle, even if we wish to and make it go on forever, for time does march on.
A good point about this is also seen and realized in the case of Jim Croce, who died in a plane crash. This man played music and had so many hits it was crazy, yet, he never experienced his fame, he never lived to feel it. Yet today his songs like Time in a Bottle. Operator, Bad Bad Leroy Brown, and others can be heard all over the radio and still hit a chord today in 2018.
Harry Chapman is another artist, singer, songwriter, who died young and hit with many wonderful songs back then, but never really lived long enough to enjoy his fame. Taxi, The Sequel to Taxi,WOLD, and more come out of Harry and live to this day, and still make people sing along or sway in their chairs or on their feet.
I know, many will say where am I going with this, well,my thing is that many will not remember, a lot of people who were here before us. Traditions like memories fade from the world like those who do die young. We no longer listen to record, they went from records, to 8-tracks and cassettes, to CDs and now everything is digital. The sound and voices of the past can be heard digitally now, clear and remastered, some should listen to them. You would learn tricks of the trade if you did, and hear some of what i call the best music in the world. Yes when I talk about artists who died young, I also include country music greats, Jim Reeves, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline and others whose voices, songs and lyrics shall never die, no matter how old they get.
I can’t save Time in a Bottle folks, I can’t take a Taxi to heaven or remember my old friends that way anymore. I am getting older, the mind forgets over time. As I age, I look back at the Motown stars and Janis Japlin and more, being 62 going on 63 in January myself,I prefer to remember the men and women who sang and made songs you could sing with it and dance to. To me, if you can’t understand the words to a song and hear the voice above the music, then it’s just noise, I have to know what they are singing, understand it and agree with them, to love it.
I don’t know how many more years I will live, for I too have been hit by cancer, I had Lung Cancer and survived it in 2013. My wife has been struggling with breast cancer since 2006. Cancer follows me around I think, so I have to wonder how many more years I have left. But don’t place me in the group with the above named individuals folks, for they died young, I am still here. I don’t play music or write songs, but I do Play songs as a Dj online in a program called Second Life, that was created by Linden Labs.I enjoy my music and I think many I play it for online do too. Music moves the soul, helps to heal the heart and soothes the savage beast. So I DJ for fun, for the joy of other liking the tunes I play and in the end I think it works. Music is magical in many ways, from the Classics, to Country, to Jazz and The Blues, to Rock and Roll, music is really a gift that is sent to us through special individuals who can perform and sing it. Yet like all of us who are human, we all know the truth, and yes it is what Billy Joel sang and still does at times, Only The Good Die Young!
