The situation is escalating
I don't know who this guy is. I'm going to assume he's nobody.
But I do think it's interesting.
The sport is decimated. They could revive it, but it is ruined in its current state. Some will disagree, but I don't find that argument interesting.
The argument I do find interesting is how long a dead sport can run on its old momentum. And pictures like that make me think it isn't very long. Millions of dollars in Nico merchandise... Carson Beck merchandise... Then boom. Waste of money.
So many people feel like they are getting screwed. Fans feel like they are getting screwed because players just go play for rivals, and even if they don't, they end up looking greedy. Meanwhile boosters are pouring in more money than ever, but unable to actually build anything because the guys they paid last year are now undercutting their investment this year.
I think with no spending restrictions and pay-to-play contracts very soon, the money will dry up fast. I would imagine the current group of athletes is getting paid more than anyone else will who follow them.
