Counterpoint: Gronk still has an agent.

No my comment wasn’t nuanced. I didn’t claim it was. My comment was a lazy quickie. My specialty. I said I was poking you because YOU need a little nuance (ie: lighten the fuck up a little).

“He’ll be fine.”

or you could just look at the videos above.

It seems the football crowd was a of a much larger magnitude than the protests in the other cities, and only lasted 1 night with most people going home to sleep off the alcohol.

I like the part where you apparently think that Philly cops also work in Baltimore, Ferguson and Cleveland.

You sound angry.

Are you going to just admit you were wrong or do you want to keep rambling?

Who determines fair market value? The market. When your contract is up, welcome to the market. The market changes constantly. The market has smartened up.

I’m paid a fraction of what I’m worth every day. Have been for years. I have no real ability to negotiate and employers are colluding against me constantly.

Arieta’s starting asking price was 6 years, 160 million. Hosmer was looking for 200 million over 7 or 8 years. No thanks. Bye.

“which is relevant as a major example of the deep history of collusive and anti competitive behavior displayed by the MLB.”

If you think this is collision, I know a guy who has some tinfoil that fell off a truck who can give you a good deal.

Call me when you get law and econ degrees. Thanks for sending me something that happened 24 years ago. I’d hate to remind you that multiple CBAs have been negotiated since then. The league minimum in 1994 was 109k. Use your fake econ degree to figure out how much salaries have increased.

I agree its not “just” 3 years.

What you’re talking about needs to be addressed in the CBA.

They’re not being denied their labor value. They’re turning it down. They’re demanding more. That’s the point. And Christ, can you stop with the stupid internet cliche shame attempts? It’s so ridiculously lazy. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, just say so. But drop the whole “virtue signaling” bullshit.…

So if you only played 5 years you are making over 2.5 mil total. Odds are you only played 5 years cause you’re not very good. Not a bad living to be poor at your job eh?

Yeah, can’t get by on $500k for a couple of years before arbitration.
