Let the market govern the economics of the business of football. If the owners don't pay well, the product will suffer and they'll have to pay more. They don't have to play football. 90% of this country has no union. The market takes care of its self.
If the people at Lowes are paid like shit and rude and unknowlegable, then you go shop at Home Depot. And Lowes will start to hurt. So they will have to pay more for better and more educated employees. Takes care of it's self.
When you disturb that natural balance, you get an unnatural result. |
its not that easy. especially with the job market right now. if you were highering a person to be an accountant (just for example), would you hire a ex football player that hasn't been in school for 4 or 5 years, someone coming straight from college in that field, or someone that got a degree in that field and has 4 or 5 years experience. I'm positive the first choice or the second choice will be the football player.
basically, what i'm saying is that i don't agree fully with the owners because they are fighting for basically nothing. They aren't in any kind of trouble. They were making a great deal of money. Sure, there are some players making a butt load as well, but again, that's not the majority. It was pretty much win/win for everyone as a whole. So why try and screw essentially the hand that feeds them, the fans?
