Professional Athletes and Rags to Riches

[sspadowsky]

Sorry, Brandon, I didn't mean to hijack the thread.

Athletes aren't more greedy than anyone else, they're just in a better position to be greedy than most anyone else. And I say they can demand as much as they want, because the odds are that one of the corporate robber-baron team owners will cough up the dough in hopes of fattening his own wallet through increased ticket sales. Good for the players. Let 'em get all they can.

Anyone who thinks that athletes don't work hard for their money should go to one of their training camps, and have to participate. They would change their minds inside of five minutes, if they hadn't already passed out.
