“An increase of 140%”?  I really don’t like statements that could be clearer.  That should mean that it is 2.4 times the amount in 2002. 

If my math is right, the Consumer Price Index increased 69% from January 2002 to January 2023.  So this increase is 3.5x faster than the CPI increase. 

I saw the LA Times article about how the Dodgers have recently committed $1B on 2 players.  It makes me wonder what percent of the US GDP goes to pro athletes.
