You think paying a good player to play for your team has a legal distinction from paying a good player to not play for the other one?

When does it stop being the former and start being the latter?

It’s also bribery. Here’s a federal criminal statute for you

18 U.S. Code § 224 - Bribery in sporting contests
U.S. Code
Notes

(a) Whoever carries into effect, attempts to carry into effect, or conspires with any other person to carry into effect any scheme in commerce to influence, in any way, by bribery any sporting contest, with knowledge that the purpose of such scheme is to influence by bribery that contest, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.



It’s illegal bud. Move on
