I just want to state that I understand why so many people hate the Yankees. But, if you look in history, the years that the Yankees do well tend to be some of baseball's most popular years. The Yankees generate more money for other teams by traveling to their stadiums and selling out their games than the teams make playing other teams. One problem that exists is that since unlimited spending is allowed, certain owners don't spend the money they should and pocket it.
I'm not saying that unlimited spending should be allowed, but since it is, the owners need to compete better. So many owners make tons of $$$ off Steinbrenner forking over luxury taxes, but they just pocket it.
There are definitely problems in the current system, but I think many owners could handle it better. Overall, the Yankees hold baseball together pretty well, and the sport would suffer if it were not for their success
