Mario Declines 5 mil.

[BanditsRock11]

Mario declined a 5 million dollar raise. Where the hell do they get money to give him a raise and he has hardly played this year. This team is a joke.

But he's being a good guy not to take the money, quote:

"Rather than wait for us to bring this up, Mario stepped up to key members of our board and said basically, 'My salary is going to be rolled back to where it was last year and the year before. We need to respect the bottom line,' " Sawyer said.

wait....I thought he owned the team...isn't it a contradiction that he declined a $5 million dollar raise that he essentially would have given himself? maybe I missed something about his ownership stake in the past several months....
