    Whenever I encounter someone complaining about “spoiled athletes demanding more money” I always ask them how much they think the owner is making.

    It never fails that their brain kind of shuts off for a second before rebooting and realizing that one owner is easily raking in what ten or twelve top-tier players make per year.

    Owners have never been your friend. That shit MIGHT have been applicable when the owner was the local used car magnate and said used car was a Model T. It hasn’t been the case in my lifetime, or likely anyone reading this.
