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?

    The spirit of antebellum American capitalism, formally known as plantation slave owning elitism, is alive and well in collegiate athletics........ which I believe most of us are vastly more interested in than the price of king cotton. The best thing about this is that the time student-athletes are allowed to waste on collegiate athletics is generally limited to 5 years. In Antebellum terms, that's progress.

    Seems like a lot of folks here support slavery by paying to attend and watching college football on TV. You should stop if you have that big of an issue with it

    I am for football but against the artificial restriction of the right to work a side job.

    fuck you are in rare form.

    no, not formally exempt. fuck. in fact, they have been found in violation on 3 occasions. but the bottom line is that if there were a business, or two, or 1200, that belonged to a member organization that dictated everyone's behavior in said business, including what it could pay its employees, how it could hire its employees, and how and when it can compete and interact with member businesses, said organization and its members would be found to have violated the anti trust laws. the NCAA escapes obvious application of the Sherman and Clayton acts because everyone knows that w/o collusion among member schools, there would be no CFB as we know it. It's effectively exempted. the courts simply give deference to the NCAA as an organization, except when they step way over the line on matters more directly involving commerce, because of the unique context of sports. that has been established. sorry. i didn't make it up to make you mad.

    literally no choice? no. practically no choice? yes. if you want that product, you buy it from the NCAA and nobody else. and, yes, particularly black kids from lower to lower middle class households. are you new to the sport?

    fuck, go have one of those drinks you're always telling us about; your econ 101 lesson has been taught. unfortunately, beginning and ending your point on this subject with a tautology (hey, they're playing aren't they) is less than thought provoking. I thought you were better than that. keep this up and you're in paper hanger territory with chipofag.

  • Damone's economic prowess has been woefully exposed as way too simplistic in a complex market.

    What's the problem? Take some money from the conferences and NCAACP and give it to football players, based on a % of revenue generated per sport. Give the bitches a token stipend for therapy for sore backs and STD treatment and the football players a sizeable stipend for new Lacs, Benz and fine thread. It's pretty simple.

    You said they were exempt..dumbfuck...now it's...we'll,yeah but still..not formally exempt. There is not formal or informal exemption. You said the reason they could do what they were doing is that they were exempt. They are not in any way exempt. You said if their weren't exempt the FTC and DOJ would "break it up and fine the living shit out of them". Fuck your an idiot.

    "Effectively exempt"

    Lol ok...but they aren't. I don't think you even understand the implications if they were exempt.

    Admit it, you thought they were exempt, called called out on your horse shit and then made up a weak argument to try and fit your original point, but without your main fact.

    Yes, they have a choice. 100%. If it's a shitty deal, don't do it. But it's not a shitty deal.

    Exactly the response I expected from a government employee.
