Right or wrong, athletes are jobs. They go where they’re paid.

Do you feel the same about pro players? What’s the difference today really?

Now that players are paid market value, they are basically employees. Not a lot

They’re not employees. They’re being paid by the fans that are willing to fork

Important note, that collective bargaining won’t preclude NIL deals like we have

Owners don't guilt you into donating to a collective to pay their players.

The difference is every pro isn't a free agent every year

Certainly makes me less patient with their on court flaws. You’re getting paid
A Drew Aitch
Apr 24, 8:17pm
Precisely. You get paid more than 99% of fans
Archaea
Apr 24, 8:25pm
Most byu players are not making more than 99% of fans. In fact no players

I’m sure you know what kind of deals they have

Do you know what the top 1% of earners in the US looks like?
JoeExotic

Certainly hard to get invested in players when you may lose them at any moment.

Collectives need to get smart and start requiring multi year contracts.

A player will just go to a school that doesn't do that. As long as there is a
