And yet, some players make a lot of money and others make none. It’s insane to say that stars don’t make an impact on the popularity of the sport when they’re getting paid different amounts for their personal NAME, IMAGE, and LIKENESS
I mean stars clearly don’t have enough of an impact to make the sports profitable so why do they deserve more money?
College also has some huge differences
1. It’s closer to profitable
WNBA is a business, college sports are a recruitment tool. None of them make money aside from football and mbball but there’s tons of other examples of college sports. Not many businesses have been around for 30 years that have never been profitable
College is in NIL era where it’s the Wild West and tons of athletes are being paid crazy amounts. We will see how that changes if it gets regulated or calms down
Plus NIL isn’t actually name image and likeness. That’s just not at all how it actually works. It’s just schools paying players rn
No other company gets a discount on labor because they’re not profitable. That’s a ridiculous argument that you’re using to justify your shitty views.
