You know you're wrong x 100, and you're crying in your orange juice because you look like such an idiot right now on a message board.

Free market.
They can make their own decisions. There is no law in this country that forces a player to join the NCAA, go to college, or any of that. They can go join the military like I did if they want.
Or they could pay people millions a year to train them, pay for all the equipment, etc. Then they could try out for the NFL in 3 years.
They don't do that because the other option is a hell of a lot better and the NCAA offers probably the best opportunity possible for anyone coming out of high school. Hell, try going on an academic scholarship. I was offered one, the terms suck. Especially in comparison to what they get on an athletic scholarship.
Why do you not at the same time recognize the NCAA's right to make it's own decisions? Why is it ok for the government to regulate them?

Rights do not come from government, they are god given. The only legitimate purpose of government is to protect those rights, ease trade between states, develop standards and provide an honest monetary system. It fails at every one of these.
Our government is an unconstitutional criminal organization that has turned the constitution into a document of limited rights, rather than limited government.
Democracy is for suckers.

So if players want to get paid, and the NCAA doesn't like it, they should have to join the military, or bag groceries, or work at Taco Bell.
That's literally what your stupid arse is arguing.

Wrong again dumbshit. Universities offer them that opportunity.
the legendary corrupt NCAA offers them subservience to the legendary corrupt NCAA

It would be accurate to say I am not a man of faith.
I am gnostic. Knowledge of the holy is understanding. I don't need to believe God is real, I know God is real.
I will answer any questions you have, however only God can give you understanding. That is the function of what Christian's call the holy spirit. However, it will teach you to never focus on the labels, they are only useful to communicate among men.

What allows the NFL salary cap is the fact the players belong to a union. Collective bargaining is the only way that can happen.
And many right wing folks do view unions as being socialist.
I don't know why we're having this odd NCAA/politics sidebar in a thread created to make fun of Tennessee. Shouldn't we just be making fun of Tennessee instead?

It's not socialism when it's not forced by the government. It's a voluntary system that is put in place to create a product/service.
Unions are bad for business, that's why people are against them. All anyone has to do is look at Detroit if they want proof. Just a backdoor for corruption and greed.

Eh.
I guess this thread is going full political.
I view unionization in the same way I view incorporation.
Incorporation allows stockholders to pool their resources and elect a board of directors to select executives to run the company and negotiate with labor under a single voice with the weight of all the stockholders.
Unionization allows labor to pool their resources and elect representatives to negotiate with ownership under a single voice with the weight of all the labor.
The majority of ownership gets to choose if they incorporate or not. A minority of stockholders can't decide that their piece of the company is not incorporated anymore or is no longer public. The majority of ownership decides the organization. That has to happen otherwise it would be a mess.
The majority of labor should decide if the shop is a union shop or not and can vote to deunionize as well. But all labor part of that company needs to follow suit, just like minority stockholders have to do on the ownership side.
The reality is that it's more important to have the THREAT of a union that every employee has to join than an actual union. Nobody WANTS to give up part of their paycheck to fund a union. They'll only do that if ownership is treating them unfairly. But without that threat, ownership often does frick over their labor force.
Last political post from me today though. THat's not really why I post here.

It's not political when it's voluntary, it's a choice/opinion.

You can try to form a union if you want and the business should be free to fire them all.
A business should be able to hire and fire people as they see fit. Unions come in, demand contracts with the company, force employees to join and basically become a money stealing middle man claiming to represent the interests of others in the process. Just another form of organized crime really.
Anyone who believes such organizations are working for their best interest rather than a way to leech off their labor deserves what they get. I wouldn't take that right from you.
The reason why you think this is political is because of how much unions are in bed with it.

Oddly enough, there have been many QB's like that. One prominent one was Alabama's Jay Barker many years ago.
They say he could run like a cheetah but was just too scared to ever break it loose on the football field.
