David Glass makes nearly 124 million dollars a year, and is considered one of the greediest owners in sports. He made $73 million dollars of welfare from the league last year and $51 million dollars off the team. 

Welfare is guaranteed to him every year, and the money he makes from the Royals isn't. So he can give up several million dollars he makes off the Royals and still make tons of money.  He nearly makes double the entire team's combined payroll. Nothing will change until he gives up his giant salary.


Want proof?

The Royals have had 1 season that have been above .500 in the last 10 years, ever since David Glass bought the Royals. The Yankees? They have had 10 winning seasons and 4 World Series trips. End the era of the terrible Royals and let's get back to what we have always been before the David Glass Era: Winners.


We are not trying to get rid of David Glass. We are just trying to change his ways.
It is really hard make this petition popular by myself. If you feel it is worth it, please click the email friends tab and send to all your friends, or copy the link in the address bar and post it under a Royals story or a website. If you are a Royals fan and you want them to get better, the more friends you send it to, the faster it will happen. Thanks so much!!!

Ridiculous that he makes more than the whole team. Hard to root for a club run like a bank account for the owner.

Sell the team already. This is supposed to be about baseball not just lining your own pockets while the fans suffer.
