I agree that the coaches should get payed exactly the same (if not more) than the players for this type of trip. But my freak'n gosh!!!! $40,000 for a 4 day trip to Japan? There are families in this country that won't earn $40,000 this year and are trying to pay for a house, food, gas, health care, clothes, and the list goes on.
I love sports, and I love baseball (hate the bo sox), but how twisted is our society when people that make millions to play a game cry over $40,000? If the coaches mean so much to you, share your own stick'n bonus for playing in Japan. I guess that the athletes want to insure that we never go back to the days when pro-athletes had to work a second job to support their families.
