So where are the Liberty Media defenders now

Ownership is a joke. Who has defended it?

There are those that have said since we are a middle tier team in terms of revenue/attendance so our payroll is where it should. Which is obviously not the case. Other teams with similar revenue/attendance numbers have a payroll in the 110 million range. The Braves are lagging behind and it's hurting the team.
 
I have my fingers crossed that they're storing money in an escrow so they can pay Jason, Freddie and maybe Justin to christen the new stadium with stars.
 
I don't think there are really those who defend Liberty, as there are those who say, "well, it could be worse."

it's a **** sandwich either way.
 
So we could have $130 million dollar payroll and still turn a profit? This is why I wish we were like the NFL and only allow individual owners.
 
Am I correct in inferring from this article that:

1) In 2013, revenues increased by $35M from $216M in 2012 to $251M?

2) In 2013, expenses increased by $14M from $185M in 2012 to $199M?

3) Operating income increased by $21M from $31M to $52M?
 
Liberty has always been a joke. I don't know why people believed every year that payroll was going to rise substantially.
 
Which only makes it worse.

The braves turn a profit and yet the profits are not allowed to spend the profits on the team.
 
Yeah that makes it even worse. I have a feeling they'll turn an even bigger profit next season. What sucks is we could keep all of our young guys if they didn't wanna pocket it all.
