So...you want the government to cap earnings or something?
I want people to ignore them. Stop giving them money, stop giving them your attention.
That's understandable. As long as we aren't forcing them to stop I have zero problems with that.
Pro athletes aren't organic. Government subsidies fund the big leagues.
Mostly in the form of subsidies relating to their stadiums.
By building them new arenas on the taxpayer dime every two or three decades or so.
Or by granting them free land. Or by giving the teams taxation powers (hotel taxes, parking revenue, development fees). Or by giving them land to build or sell real estate around the stadium in terms of condos, etc.
How else could you achieve his stated objective?
The only way to stop people from earning that much money is government intervention.
OnlyFans should just be straight up banned. With sports, the government actively enables them to be what they are. Many stadiums are subsidized, for example.
I'm against the practice, but the big sports leagues would still be profitable even without taxpayer money funding a portion of the cost to build stadiums.
Hey, you have some common ground with Imp!
Pro sports are already heavily intervened in by the government. Who funds the stadiums? The government. Who threatens to move to another city if the government won't build them a new stadium? The owners. Who gets special exemptions from anti-trust laws? The leagues, which in any other industry would be a Cartel.
Don't pretend the owners of these teams are some Randian archetype of the "noble Capitalist in existential conflict with the evil government".
I never suggested the team owners are noble capitalists lol. I simply asked him how he would go about preventing someone from earning a specific amount of money.
Yeah. He said "should". One of the dumbest words in the English language.
Should means you want people to conform to your values. Why? Because it benefits you. When you say "should" you are saying, "I have no solutions. I don't even understand the issues. I just want things my way because it benefits me most and fuck you."
That does not follow.
But they can definitely face a higher tax rate.
Government, I don't know.
But salary caps in sports I would support. I'm EU and mostly into football, but whenever I look at the MLS and their salary caps I'm kind of envious. I wouldn't mind if we had something similar for our local leagues.
