Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Why do most of my fellow economic libertarians hate economic liberty?

You've embarrassed yourselves when it comes to arguing against college players getting paid.


Fucking Dreckfest.

    Look at me, I like to create hybrid threads based on another poster's original thread.

    I get paid (Libertarian Economy) to drive clicks around here, and if the Minister of DisInformation continues to impact my revenue streams he will be hearing the Vanilla lawyers once they are finished with the site transition.

    You have been warned.

    I like to be in favor of all sorts of shit and just ignore the reasons why it will never happen. Gotta go feed my unicorn and jump over a rainbow now.

    The intellectually lazy argument is - the players need to be paid!!!111!!

    OK, I'm in. Now what?

    In the spirit of liberty and human rights, we can decide now to pay collegiate football playing athletes enough so that they're free to own wheels, dress cool, and take themselves (and a girlfriend) out for a movie and cheeseburger-milkshake date once a week. Or we can wait for the Libertarians to suck(capitalize) the life out of our favorite Game. I don't know what I'd do with all my unused entertainment money if that happened. Give it away for public education of the 1% elites I suppose.

    Because it currently in equilibrium. Your advocating forced wage levels when the current wage is attracting a qualified and eager labor pool.

    Two competing thoughts; second one wins.

    1. In a free market society, it makes perfect intellectual sense to pay players in a sport that generates 100s of millions of dollars in revenue in large measure because of the players.

    2. In this free market society, we have multiple exceptions to the free market default rule that makes life better, and keeping college football amateur-based is but one of them.

    On second thought, they are not competing thoughts at all.

    If the current pay is inadequate, why would someone choose to participate? Answer: the current compensation is adequate to maintain a qualify labor pool.

    Why are coaches paid so much? Answer: same as above.
