Red Sox boycotting Japan

The Red Sox players found out this morning that the coaches and off-the-field staff aren't getting the extra stipend that the players are getting, so they're saying they're not playing until it happens. They want the coaches and staff to get the benefits that they deserve and are sticking up for them. They had a spring training game today at noon and it's 12:16 and hasn't started yet. What are your thoughts on this?

They got it settled and it looks like they're going to get the game in today. The Red Sox will be leaving today for the trip as well.

I agree wholeheartedly with the players' stance. If the coaches were promised $40,000 to go then they should get it. Big stand on the players' part. Looks like the game and trip is on.

Good for them.
Non-christian organization... people treating each other like they would want to be treated, and showing respect and concern for others well-being.
why is this such a difficult concept to grasp in some circles? (stares in utter amazement)
