Muhammad Ali Funeral Tickets Being Scalped

[Instant Karma]

The Philadelphia 76's have a Stub Hub patch on their jersey. Scalping has gone mainstream.

StubHub was mainstream long before that patch.

If anybody is sick here, it's the people trying to turn it into a ticket-able event in the first place. It's probably a safe bet that there will be food vendors selling $4 bottles of water and a host of people outside selling merchandise.

I just attended a Bernie Sanders rally and half the people there were selling t-shirts, buttons and puppets. It's a little bit gross but I don't blame the individuals selling the stuff - they're just trying to make a buck like everyone else. You can't really blame people for participating in the society the US has set up.

No one is forcing anyone to pay $100......if someone wants to pay $100 to go to a funeral then let them

Somehow blaming the USA for sports fanaticism is a bit vindictive and in fact not even accurate as the state of Kentucky clearly is against scalping as the OP states.....

So the citizens ability to elect representatives from within its peers is somehow best exemplified through this?

The anti American hyperbole is at it's finest.....would be a more accurate statement.....

No problem....I probably took your comment out of context and I was cranky this AM honestly.....so I'm sorry for being a troll

I do jump to defend capitalism, America and democracy whenever possible.....I never claim any of the them are perfect but I wouldn't have it any other way
