SNYDER: On money, athletes get criticized one way or the other

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

In their classic hit, “For the Love of Money,” the O’Jays outline a few things some people do to obtain “that mean green.”

They lie, rob and cheat. They don’t care who they hurt or beat. They steal from their mother and their own brother. They’ll let money drive them out of their minds.

However, most reasonable people agree that cash isn’t everything. The same remains true when the pile approaches a half-billion dollars, like, the $430 million contract reportedly being discussed by outfielder Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels.

Undoubtedly, that’s a whole lot of money, money, mon-ey.
