    Should there be a cap on the salaries of other professions? In particular, others in the entertainment industries?

    Something you agree with? Would you like to see caps in other professions?

    Those who would support a salary cap in MLB, what dollar figure would you propose?
    And what dollar figure would you propose for other professions or lines of work...including your own?

    Go..............

    The Salary cap system in the NHL sets a floor and a cap for the combined payroll on the team

    I'm sure there are plenty of women and gay men who'd love to fill the hug requirement.

    The doll hair part is just creepy

    your not paying the teams the same the salary cap seems to be more of a prevention so that certain teams cant persuade certain players to come to there team by over paying them, now dont get me wrong certain teams have more wiggle room in their cap because of earnings and other players and what not but...lost my train of thought lol
