Random thoughts on this:
-One way to address some of the inequities in this would be through a single medical/disability program from college through the pros that compensates them for injuries received on the job to the degree that they aren't dramatically set back in life.
- -@mgteich's point is a matter of principle. It has nothing to do with how much they make, and arguments that the players high salaries are a trade for their economic freedom actually reinforces his point.
- -At the same time, very few people actually get to choose from a range of employers. Even in the US, the majority of people have a limited number of options, and the "professional class" of college grads with multiple employment offers is shrinking daily. Reality has a way of redefining the ideals of freedom.
