Our local sports radio station was running a poll.
“Should any athlete be allowed to make this much money?”

As of last check 75% answered NO.
THAT is where the country is heading.

The pro sports thing is not true capitalism.

Many if not most teams are getting large subsidies from the taxpayers via stadiums, tax abatements, etc.

If those did not exist, salaries would be lower.

They probably saw the question as "should they be allowed to make that much money?".

As long as the poll respondents mean that “No” as moral suasion I don’t see a problem.

It’s only a problem when they think that AOC and Kamala Harris socialists ought to use force to enact it.
