GEORGE WILL, CELEBRITY ELITIST SHILL FOR LEGALIZED ROBBERY--MLB

An article attributed to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com appears on the letterhead of MGP Associates, a public relations and "crisis management" firm. Date 8/4/06. "George Will, whose love of baseball might transcend his passion for politics, is an unabashed Bud Selig supporter. He thinks Selig's record of accomplishment is every bit as impressive as those of his commissioner peers, Tagliabue and Stern. Will said. "I've written this before and I'll say it again: He is immeasurably the greatest commissioner in baseball's history. He's the ninth, and the other eight don't come close."

• HOW MUCH HAS THE YANKEE FAN, UNDER THE GUISE OF BUD SELIG, PAID GEORGE WILL IN CONSULTING FEES OVER THE YEARS?

(Continuing from the article):

• "When Bud Selig is in a meeting and he's in some kind of fork-in-the-road situation, with steroids or whatever, I think he turns toward his lawyer first and says, 'How do we limit our liability and protect ourselves?' He should be asking, 'What's the right thing to do long-term for our reputation?' " Statement by Mike Paul, "sports reputation consultant," and president of MGP, Associates.

GEORGE WILL SAYS LET THE YANKEE FAN PAY MORE, EVEN THOUGH HE CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE HIS FAMILY TO A GAME. NOT 1 WORD ABOUT WHAT THE RICH OWNERS ARE DOING WITH THE PATHETIC YANKEE FAN'S MONEY. Will says in a widely reported Sept. 14 speech, DRIPPING WITH THE HATE AND ENVY THEME PUSHED FROM THE TOP:

• Will advises Allen "Bud" and the gang of rich guys to RAISE THE LUXURY TAX AND REVENUE SHARING EVEN MORE, saying of local revenues:

  "There is no such thing," Will said. "Everybody sells Major League Baseball. If (Yankees owner) George Steinbrenner doubts that, let him play 162 intrasquad games at Yankee Stadium and see how many people show up."

NOT 1 WORD ABOUT HOW OUR MONEY IS SPENT. For all his alleged brilliance, George Will can't come up with ONE ORIGINAL THOUGHT. IT'S HATE AND ENVY, ROB THE STUPID YANKEE FAN, HE WON'T DARE COMPLAIN, GOD KNOWS MR. STEINBRENNER WON'T COMPLAIN, HE'S ADDLED AND IN HIS DOTAGE. And, by the way, did you know MLB gave $1 million (from its slush fund of Yankee fans' allowance) in August 2005 to the Mark McGwire Foundation for Children? That money looks like it's accruing interest for its administrators, according to the report on 10/5/05 by Darren Rovell on ESPN.com. Too bad Mr. Pappas isn't around anymore.
