[QUOTE="85Escape, post: 816537, member: 3560"] I wasn't taking digs at you, so ease up. I was saying that most of the arguments I hear for NIL have a very heavy does of victimhood, including this one. As I said, I support NIL, but justifying it with an appeal to unfairness weakens the argument more than makes it. It's been said before but was best made by the greatest of philosophers: "You can't always get what you want." It's unfair. Yawn. Who cares. We can point a hundred cases of stuff that is 'unfair' every day I bet. So what's one more unfairness? Why is this one more worthy of redress than another? You think Miss Dunne's situation is more unfair than those guys standing at the bottom of the 14th Street ramp with a 'Will Work For Food' sign? I don't hear as many people complaining about their lot in life as I've heard complaining about how unfair NIL restrictions were. For Miss Dunne, it wasn't that she owned a small business, it was that she took sponsorship money in the form of endorsements that was the problem. She could have run a huge dog-walking business, or a chain of car washes, or a factory that made guns for that matter. But taking money for endorsements is the line, as I understand it. If she wanted to join the Marine's she would have had to consider that when she ran her business. I own a small business and work for a huge multi-national, but I'm not free to do what I want. We all have to make adjustments and compromises between the different things we puruse. She just happened to pick to mutually exclusive activities. It happens. I think a better argument for NIL rules is that it legalizes something that has been happening anyway. Locks only keep honest people honest, after all. [/QUOTE]
