[QUOTE="BonafideJacket, post: 639151, member: 1011"] These examples do make sense, because you are not required to do any of them. In exchange for the opportunity to rent a car, keep my current job, or vote, I agree to restrictions. Yes, I could find another car company that doesn't have the model that I want, or another job that pays less, or simply choose not to vote. Just like football players are not required to participate in college football to pursue a career in the sport - it's just their best opportunity to do so. In exchange for that opportunity, they currently must be willing to forego certain things. In short, the answer for why they should not be paid is because they agreed that tuition, room, board, national exposure, etc was an adequate consideration for their services and they were willing to forego profiting on their likeness. That's life. We can change the agreement, but that doesn't mean the current one is illegitimate. [/QUOTE]
