I don't care if they never get back

Yankees announce "distress fund" for Stadium workers, but there's a catch. 
[New York Daily News]


For it's 1... 2... 3 strikes you're out
At the old ballgame 
According to the Yankees’ fund description, which was posted to the Yankees’ team Twitter account, the “New York Yankees COVID-19 Disaster Relief Program” will reimburse or pay some workers’ coronavirus-related expenses, including for “funeral needs.” However, the fund will not provide “wages, income replacement, or continuation of compensation or employee benefits” for their workers unable to earn a paycheck while the league is on hiatus until late-May at the earliest.

Though Forbes estimated the Yankees’ value at $4.6 billion in 2019, the organization wrote that the fund has “limited resources available to provide assistance” and “may be amended or terminated at any time."

The Yankees list criteria to determine their workers’ worthiness for “disaster relief,” though the money is ultimately sent at the “sole discretion of the Yankees.”

[...] “Eligibility for assistance” — as the team defines it — “does NOT mean that assistance will necessarily be paid.”

They are just scum, the people who own this game. I will ever again begrudge even the worst fraud, the most egregious juicer, the most lackadaisical, just mailing it in, go home and bang a waitress lout who manages to get money out of these people.

Every single one of them deserves it more than the owners of any major-league baseball team. And especially the New York Yankees, as the richest team of all.

The owners and management of this team truly suck. They just suck.

Indeed. The owners of most teams in New York, most teams everywhere, have always sucked. It's incredible that having every material need fulfilled does not soften human nature—often, very much the opposite.
