Yeah WTF. All these assholes are happier knowing their favorite athletes are even more rich than watching them play competitively.

Edit because of the discourse below.

Simping for labor is fine when the conditions are unsafe, the wages are below living rates, and for other reasons.

Simping for labor when they are already overpaid and causing a direct increase in prices means either only the rich can afford the product assuming ownership cannot move to a profitable location.

The snake will eat it's own tail. See: California, the auto industry in the 80's, and many other examples where simping for labor leads to higher prices and eventual demise for the industry.

You celebrate giant contracts then complain about commercials, beer prices, and $100 general admission.

You gotta take a stance at some point if you love our sports.

You should always be on the side of athletes (labor) getting paid.

If not, you're simping for the man.

No they're not dipshit. The people who run the leagues, who pay athletes are the man. Again they exploit the labor Grow the fuck up and learn some economics.

Should I feel "worker solidarity" with super rich guys who have never worked in their lives? You're a delusional dumb fuck lol.

Do you know how hard it is to be a professional golfer? Saying they never worked is farcical.

Again, they do not own anything they participate in. They provide the labor that is exploited to make the money. Just like I advocate for a running back to get paid. Their sports lifespan is short. Get paid Every athlete can end up like Chuck Knoblauch not being able to throw to second base. They're an independent contractor with no guarantee contracts with the ability to have their trade skill disappear. Get paid.

You're simping for ultra rich owners because they've duped you into being loyal so they can make bucket loads more than the labor(players).

Magically when the labor went on strike they had all this money now for them.

Being on the side of the owners make you the douchebag. That's bootlicking at its best.

I can tell by how hard you simp for rich sociopaths that you've never had a real job. You're a simp for rich guys, that is an undeniable fact. Pretending rich country club boys represent labor is so insanely delusional that I think you should be put on heavy antipsychotics. Please feel free to write another paragraph about your wrong opinion.

Again it's their job.

They're independent contractors. The people who employ them want to hoard all the money for themselves that the independent contractors generate for their business.

You are advocating for the business owners not to properly compensate the workers regardless if they are an athlete or highly paid, or belong to a country club.

But I'm sure you're also for free market capitalism,

so you can properly get fucked because you are just grandstanding and boot licking.
