Year in sport stalls and salaries dominate Manitoba reflection
Manitoba sports writer surveys 1987 with a blunt look at money in athletics. He notes Donnie Lalonde as a standout, mocks boxing, and compares NFL salaries from Raiders to Vikings while arguing athletes are overpaid and critics underpaid. The piece blends local teams, boxing banter, and a New Year wish.
