At what stage in society did we learn to accept that more money goes into world class athletic talent, than feeding a cities homeless or funding for hospitals which help and heal the sick?.
When a single player can command contract wages reaching up to 125 million dollars over 5 years ( eg Carmelo Anthony )then we as a society can turn around around and say that's good value just seems more and more wrong. It sounds so cliche but could you imagine what 125 million dollars could do for communities in third world countries? I understand players are now businessmen, I even agree once in a lifetime talents should get paid more because their talent is so rare. But is sports economics and business becoming its own worst enemy.? Players are now becoming more and more conscious of their individual brand, eg Vernon Davis hold out this year. Some are even willing to put their individual branding and reputation before the importance of winning as a team, I may be old fashioned but that attitude would not have cut it back in the locker rooms I was in. What point will it get to that the wages being commanded are so astronomical that it begins to effect the back pocket of us, the fan even more?.
I hope to not come across like I'm preaching, I just wonder if other sports die hards like myself feel the same way. After all We have already lost a beloved sports game franchise in the NCAA football series to image rights, and all sorts of legal Mumbai jumbo. that's not good for us, the fan, the tribe member, the sports fan. I would love to hear anyone's thoughts and opinions regarding this. It's just a question I thought I would ask.
Hope I didn't loose anyone sometimes my thoughts go faster than my typing lol.
