[QUOTE="biggtfan, post: 638980, member: 650"] I disagree slightly because in order to pay money to one or more athletes, the donor has to: a) make a profit (e.g., a car dealership sells more cars); b) get a tax deduction (haven't seen this mentioned yet); or c) feel like throwing money at people with no return on investment solely to puff out their chest when they win games. Only a small number of payers per team can justify a profit-based donation. The players are not charities or non-profits so limited incentive there. Further, only marquee players WITH FLAWLESS CHARACTER would likely get money. Would you want your businesses athlete-spokesperson to be in the news for beating up his girlfriend, drugs, theft, fraud, or many other problem@? Therefore, I think the impact is somewhat self-limiting and not the runaway train many are portraying it to be. If I'm missing something, help me understand how the ROI for paying players makes sense to the donor. [/QUOTE]
