what should have george and now hal done with the $$$$ , you have the most recognizable brand in sports , should they have just hoarded the $$$ over the years and not re-invested it in the brand , you and i both know if they didn't do that the brand wouldn't be as valuable today
companies take write offs all the time on failed projects , the yankees are no different
the landscape is the landscape chuck you can't fault the strong for wanting to get stronger

Again, having an huge financial advantage is not a detriment. The Yankees are not like "other businesses". They are part of a special club that has been granted anti-trust exemptions by the US Congress. What they do in reinvesting into the team is not the issue. The issue is the system and how they are allowed to exploit it. The fact that George's own ineptness kept them from winning those 20 years doesnt "prove" money isnt everything.
