Holy shit is all I can say. This thread is full of horrendous takes. Tote billionaires' water more why don't ya. Jesus Christ.

I swear some of you would have been against child labor laws. Hell you probably are. The anti-union rhetoric is pathetic. Without the players there is no product. Period. They are asking for half. Look at what professional sports leagues with shit unions get... yet these kids are the bad guys for wanting to be fairly compensated???

Seriously look in the mirror and ask yourself the question: "Will I ever be in the top 0.1% of wealth in this country?" When you realize that answer is "No." Then ask, "Why am i so worried about their gigantic stack slightly shrinking?". Then when you think to yourself its not right, ask yourself do you want to live in a democracy. When you say yes, ask yourself who you should care about more in a democracy... the 0.1% or 99.9%?

Its like you people would rather we have lost in 1776 and still operate under Monarchy's. The way you defend tbe rich who exploit the labor of the poor is just inherently un-American.

First off we are a republic not a pure democracy. Secondly, your hyperbole concerning the founding fathers and the war, have you read anything concerning their thoughts on economic system in that time? The answer is no obviously because the false rhetoric you are spewing.

Through all that non-sense you just typed, have you actually ran the actual numbers? Child labor laws when they are receiving $250-350,000 in free education that elevates them into making an additional $3 MIL over their lifetime, that a horrendous attempt of an example and a lie in every sense of that argument. A democracy in no way has a bearing on wealth distribution, socialistic economy or whatever else you are attempting to marry in a false argument. That ridiculous.

No matter what side of the debate you fall on for paying athletes off of total revenue, what they are asking doesn’t work financially. Not even close to working. Not to mention the millions of dollars of the athletic department expenses that go strictly to service their scholarships already. Or the debt that the department have to pay for facilities that athletes have for better room, board, etc. than most normal students. How about if they want a salary, that’s absolutely fine with me, but they have to pay for their school minus whatever grant money they receive. Just like every normal student. No more athletic scholarship. Each team can offer a salary to an athlete they want to sign but like the real world and real normal students, they have to use their salary toward their education, room, board, etc. Them getting an education that allows them to make $3 MIL more in their lifetime is an incredible benefit as well.

now I remember why I blocked that guy ... I can't believe so many on this board still respond to him
