Simmsy Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 **** like this always blows my mind. It reminds me of all of these idiots who say athletes make too much money...if the athletes don't get it (you know, the ones actually performing and being athletic), where do you think it goes? Back to the owners, do you think they deserve it more than the people ACTUALLY performing and entertaining you? People are so stupid. I watch YouTube, I hope the unions hit them in the pockets hard. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this time they’ll get the lions share of benefits from a new agreement. it just never seems to work out that way. Do you have some specific examples of this? Edit: of the situation you mentioned before that is, where union leadership benefits but not the rank and file.

Exactly. I have no issue with guys like Tom Cruise making 50 Mil or whatever. I'd rather he get it then the aholes who run Paramount, Universal, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could argue they all pro sports in general makes entirely too much money, but to say players make too much is absurd. They make a percentage, usually around half for American pro sports. How can getting half of the income you generate ever be argued too much? Nonsense. that said, QBs are over paid. lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have such a limited amount of time (players, at least) to make their millions. That said, I don't blame the people who put up all the money (owners/studios/whatever) for defending their investment either. That's how these things are supposed to work. The market generally dictates who makes the money. If every NFL player decided to walk away from the league tomorrow and the owners were left with just the shells of their teams, there would be a few rocky years but eventually fans would continue supporting the teams/logos they are used to. In many ways, the NFL more than most leagues, has always been the most faceless of all professional sports. Hollywood will have it a little tougher...it's much more difficult to make a great blockbuster movie without a star that people love. I'm sure it's possible, but you usually need a headliner.

After End Game, I stopped with the Marvel stuff. They've also made me hate Star Wars, they washed it out in less than a decade, absolutely amazing. Best they can do now is do little Star Wars/Marvel baby shows to try and hook young children. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would note that when Disney backs off the treadmill and hands it over to a true creative such as Tony Gilroy, who has a story to tell and actually plans properly (Rogue One, Andor), good things can happen. But it requires patience and investment in writers, actors, and producers, which Disney has shown they cannot do. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
