A-Rod money versus bailout money
With so much in the news lately about both the economy and it’s bailouts as well as the Alex Rodriquez/steroid talk I figured I’d do a merge and some math with the two topics.
- Fact: A-Rod got a 10-year $252 million dollar contract…the largest in sports history.
- With the bailout money hitting $2 trillion dollars…we, the taxpayers, could pay him 8,000 times over.
- Actually, we could pay every player in the MLB A-Rod money…for the next decade!
- Or we could pay every player in the MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL A-Rod money twice over!
- Bonus: 3 billion dollars is paid out for total players in NFL.
Bottom line: It’s a lot of money.
