No. The owners (probably even Steinbrenner) would be all for a salary cap. It's because of the union that it will never happen.
And someone needs to beat the shit out of Ben Affleck. People from Boston should be ashamed that they run to that dumbass whenever the Red Sox get fucked.

Of course it's a complaint about the rules. We don't hate Darth Vader because he blew up Alderan (sp?). We hate him because he epitomizes the evil that is the Empire.
Dickering about a salary cap is symptomatic. The problem is that revenue is more local than national in origin, and there are huge disparities between the localities. Steinbrenner paid more for his franchise because it was worth more, and A-Rod is worth more to the Yankees than he would be to any other team because they get more return on him. You can't solve this problem without transferring a lot of money from rich teams to poor teams, and forcing the latter to pay people more. None of this seems likely as long as the commissioner is a bobble-head doll, and absent darker storm clouds not just on the horizon, but overhead.
Ben Affleck has lost his status as a Bostonian now that he has participated in a NASCAR event. See ya.
