I contend that most pay should be in bonus form based on performance. Base salary can very based on past performance and experience, but the huge contracts should end, especially for rookies.
I don’t object to players getting what the market bears, but I do believe the level of play would improve with more incentive and less guaranteed money. IMHO.
‘very’ should be ‘vary’ in previous post.
Thats what I always believed.Just like any sales job.
Which makes me think, a professional athlete does not really work a job.
My husband agrees with you. You have a real good year, you get a real good paycheck.
