These gladiators were recruited and well-trained to entertain the spectators in the Coliseum but their most important oDjective was to emerge victorious and satisfy the people. Well, two thousand years later, the Roamns are gone but the games still exist and our J wi i: niuuei ii uay giauiatui t* aie the USC Gamecocks.

The point we wanted to make about the Yankees is that they demand performance and if they don't get what they want, then it is good-bye. And that is exactly how we feel about our athletes. If our gladiators can't perform after a period of time then off to the salt mines with them. We say now is the time to stop accepting mediocrity and demand perfection. After all, we've paid for it.
