BOTTOM LINE - Entering NFL Employees Have No Choice


I understand.

So, hospitals should be able to have a lottery of top young doctors who should be forced to work for 10% pay for 5 years?
As others have noted, that is exactly what happens now (fun fact: hospital residents are essentially paid by the government).

Even better, prior to the mid-90s, the matching system algorithm favored giving programs their top choices of applicants over giving applicants their top choices of programs.
 
So it's the same if you are say a banker?

Of course you need to follow the rules of the company you negotiate with and CHOOSE to work for. That is not under any dispute.
The reason athletes choose it and do it is because they can become very wealthy, it's a different system than what most of us have chosen but I'm not going to make 100 million either.
 
The reality is that the players have haven agreement that forces new employees to work for someone they don't wish to work for. They have no choice for four years. Yes, they are paid well. Previous players have negotiated with regard to how much current players are paid.

Except for a relative few, NFL employees have zero to do with who they work for when they are hired, and for 4 years. As an aside, many players would succeed much better if they were able to negotiate and decide their employer.
=================
So, let's be CLEAR, the players have dealt away a lot for a lot of money. And, of course, the consumers have the same right as always. They can buy the product or not. In fact, for this product, for almost ALL the time, the fans don't have to pay at all to see the product. They do have to pay to sit in a stadium.
Your aspiration for "clarity" is a dismal failure, putting it on a par with your failure to make sense of any kind. You must be a sociology major.
