Two thousand years ago,
the Romans would go to the
Coliseum to watch their
gladiators perform. 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

is fine with us, because
winning is the most important
objective. 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.
