Ticker-tape tirade

So, I ask you, what if the Yankees were to win the Series (Go Marlins!) and in the celebratory parade down Fifth Avenue, the owners, management, support staff, and fans congratulated themselves mercilessly, chanting, "Dynasty. Dynasty! . . ."? What if the players who delivered this ebouillance walked behind the parade, clad with 10 lb. weights on their ankles -- not merely not celebrated but in fact all but ignored as credit for the championship was bestowed on the skill of the coaches, trainers, scouts, and owners? What if they were so good that while not visibly recognizing their skill and talent with greater reward or liberties [yeah, yeah, remember this is a "what if. . ." ed.], management had them locked in to their dynastic endeavors without the option to change or benefit elsewhere (e.g., Boston)?"

I'm just asking. Any organizational behaviour and other "touchy feelies" are welcome to put up an answer or two. [Oops! no comments allows. Mental note: subscribe to a higher-grade version of Blogger. ed.]
