Speaking of money, which are the states in the US where the least taxes are paid?

Ok mods I'll stop

That's a bold claim, do you have the minutes from the meeting that say the players (including Federer) were behind the decision?

Jokes aside your only evidence is your own imagination and biases - I therefore can counter by saying that Roger and Rafa rode in on shining white horses and were ready to fight the good fight, and were only held back in their endeavour because Djokovic left their swords in the hotel.

Repetitive stuff won't help your case here nor some humor attempt

You didn't know that voting of any member in PC is not subjected to media reports .Players Council voted YES for stripping Wimbledon points from players.
Your claim is that YES was done without Fedal voting for it :X3:

I've been told so many times by my niece how unfunny I am that I wouldn't dare make an attempt at humour.

Do you have anything to support what you're saying about Fedal voting that way? If not...

A local kid who graduated with my daughter was called up recently to the Colorado Rockies. Out of curiosity I looked it up: MLB league minimum is over $650k…

Actually Minimum is now 750 K a year.

Well, I did say 'over $650k'...

But, yeah, I thought I remembered it being $720k last year, but wasn't sure (and didn't feel like Googling it again), so I padded my estimate.

I mean, $100k here, a $100k there, and soon you're talking about real money...

I will say its a little deceiving. If you get called up you get paid by the day, based on that salary. So there are 183 days in the season ect. If you dont have a contract you get pro rated on 700,000 grand divided by the 183 days. But also some guys who haven't made the majors have also signed contracts after being drafted with sign on bonuses. So its all a little confusing. Suffice to say if you make the majors you are doing pretty well.
 
In NFL, more money increasingly goes to the superstar quarterbacks, because you can't win w/o them. What's the salary cap right now?

In NBA, money is distributed evenly!
