The headline is a mix-up of "foot-in-mouth disease" and "hoof and mouth disease." That being the case, the article really should be about A-Rod.

The worst thing about this behavior is that it’s poisoning the market.

Nor is he pretending to do anything to develop his own revenue stream to help reduce the amount that the league gives him as part of the revenue sharing.

Fixed that for Mets fans ...

Well surely nobody could have anticipated that unearned torrents of free money would have a negative effect on a franchise's efforts to expand their fanbase.

No. That's not the worst thing.
