In an outrageous show of arrogance or chutzpah or both, our own Major League Baseball pretenders, the Kansas City Royals, without doubt lead by their uber-wealthy and uber-greedy owner, former Wal-Mart executive David Glass, announced today they will be raising prices for tickets for games in next year's season.
From the Star, today:
Royals' Notes: Prices going up for season tickets
It’s going to cost more next year to take in a game at Kauffman Stadium.
The Royals are instituting an increase in season-ticket prices for 2013 for virtually all seats except those in the ritzy Crown Club, which are actually dropping by $5 a ticket. (As usual, see link at bottom.)
Can you believe the chutzpah?
With the crappy, nearly obscene losing season they put on this year?
And then the season is JUST OVER and they announce this?
And it goes up for everyone--except for the people who can afford it, the wealthy for whom their price goes down.
What unmitigated gall.
To the Hall Family--won't you please, please buy this team and keep it here and make it the winner it could be?
Please??
This is just one more, though glaring reason why we need "No More Glass": http://www.no-more-glass.com

I think we should change the name from "The Royals" to "The Peasants" since royalty rarely so far from the top.
Or the Paupers?
They don't play like peasants, they play like aristocrats. Keep the name it suits them, & don't insult the peasants unless maybe you have an urban garden.
The last thing we want to do is insult the peasants.
