Hopefully, like with all the outrageous salaries the sports are paying to players and executives alike the aftermath of the virus will see them all forace clubs to have manageable salary caps and executive salaries in line with community expectations. AFL, NRL, ACB, TENNIS AUS are completely out of touch with salaries/wages. Millions will be hurt for many years and wont accept the current clubs in the way they are managed..
athlete salaries (along with CEO salaries and such) are a product of the free market. restricting people, of any walk of life, the ability to earn as much money as they can legally, is ridiculous IMO, regardless of whether we agree with the numbers or not.
if someone said to one of us, we'll pay you millions (in some cases) to play sport for a living, then who among us will say no?
not me, that's for sure.
if shareholders (for CEO's) and professional sports leagues can pay their workers, then good luck to them.
a huge number of these high wage earners give millions across the globe every year to thousands of charities, good causes and individuals alike... many stories coming out where sports stars in particular are paying stadium workers out of their own pockets and also providing millions to update medical facilities in their own countries.
this 'alright for some' attitude begs the question? do you watch these leagues or buy a particular product that has a highly paid CEO?
whether they have millions or not makes no difference to my life whatsoever. in fact, sometimes it makes it better.
just my opinion... not all will agree, no doubt. which is cool, we are in a free country...
