So if I work 40 hours a week and want fair wages, benefits, and a bonus does that make me spoiled? Does it make us spoiled that we have labor protections they don’t? Does it make them spoiled to want that?

I never get this weird holier than thou argument. They’re working a job, the difference between us and them is they can’t negotiate their wages, choose the form they receive it in, and they’re voided of variable compensation like bonuses as well as legal protection.

This is like saying a child factory worker should pull himself up by his bootstraps lol.

I don’t disagree that they’re getting compensated with an education, boarding, and other aspects. Nor do I feel like most athletes will be earning more under a revamped system. But the notion that it’s fair for Bryce Young to only get 40K is a bit silly. The downside of this correction is it will kill a good slew of college athletics because as it stands it’s akin to a socialist angle where Bryce taking less allows for womens volleyball to get an education

Call me what you will, but I’d rather see the university recruit the type of student athlete that’s a student first and an athlete second. Because this shite we’re seeing now is the downfall of the universities and college athletics

Call me what you will, but I’d rather see our company recruit the type of employee that’s a company man first and an employee second. They should just ask for a minimum wage and be happy with the opportunity to be here

/s

I hope you’re the first one in line to forfeit your bonus because the Company’s only making a 14% margin this year instead of 17%. That’s the angle you’re taking here
