	STRIKES AND OVER PAID SPORTS PLAYERS     		REPORT------
---------------------------------		
	THE  NINE-TEEN NINETY  SPORTS SEASON WAS THE  SADDEST AND
MOST UNSPORTY   SEASON EVER.
	WHAT IS WRONG WITH PRO SPORTS PLAYERS THESE DAYs
    THEY EARN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS  AND THEY STILL WANT MORE!!
TALK ABOUT GREEDY!!  ALL THEY DO IS PLAY A GAME THAT IS SUPPOSED
TO FUN AND THEY GET PAID.   MANY KIDS ACROSS THE U.S. DON'T GET 
PAID TO PLAY SPORTS BUT RATHER  PAY TO PLAY.  KIDS PLAY SPORTS
FOR FUN AND ADULTS SPORTS PLAYERS DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE 
WORD FUN MEANS.  ALL THEY TALK ABOUT IS WINNING, MONEY, AND 
MORE MONEY. 
FIRST THE BASEBALL PLAYER WALKED OUT BECAUSE OF THE SALARY 
CAP. THEY PLAYERS AND OWNERS DISAPPOINTED MANY BASEBALL FANS.
HOCKEY ALSO WALK OUT FOR HALF THE SEASON. THEY TO OPPOSED THE 
SALARY CAP. YOU THINK THEY WOULD BE HAPPY WITH A GOOD DENTAL 
PLAN!!
	AN OTHER THING THAT IS REALLY PATHETIC IS HOW SPORTS 
PLAYERS  SHOW OFF.  FOR EXAMPLES, DIEON SANDERS CAN'T EVEN
 CATCH  A PASS OR INTERCEPTION WITH OUT DOING  A DANCE OR POKE 
FUN OF THE  OTHER TEAM. OR MANY DEFENSIVE LINE MEN AFTER THEY 
GET A SACK WILL HOOVER OVER THE QUARTER-BACK AND YELL AND 
MAKE FUN OF HIM. 
	   25,35,ANND 40 MILLION ARE JUST SOME OF THE AVERAGE
SALARIES 
OF SPORTS PLAYERS. THIS IS NOT  INCLUDING THE EXTRA  3 MILLION 
THAT  THEY EARN DOING COMMERCIALS.
	DIEON SANDERS , MICHAEL JORDAN , AND EMMIT SMITH ARE JUST 
A FEW EXAMPLES OF PRO SPORTS PLAYER THAT EARN  OVER 30 MILLION 
DOLLARS NOT INCLUDING THE COMMERCIAL MONEY.
	ONLY ONE WORD COULD DESCRIBE THE '94 HOCKEY AND BASEBALL 
SEASON AND THAT WORD IS PATHETIC!  
	IT IS A PROVEN FACT THAT SPORTS PLAYERS EARN MORE MONEY 
THAN THE PEOPLE WHO DESERVE IT SUCH AS DOCTORS, LAWYERS, 
FACTORY WORKERS, AND TEACHERS.
	THE THING THAT IS REALLY SAD IS THAT THE PLAYERS ABUSE
THERE MONEY. INSTEAD OF GIVING MONEY TO THE POOR, THEY SPEND IT 
ON BIG HOUSES AND FLASHY CARS.
THIS IS VERY SAD THAT THE FUN AS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THESE  SPORTS
ALL BECAUSE OF GREED.
