[QUOTE="leatherneckjacket, post: 949493, member: 3849"] Anyone who is part of sports team, professional or otherwise, would be booted from their team if they refuse to produce at their best level out of jealousy because someone is better or makes more than them. Team chemistry can turn on a variety of reason, but pay disparity is not usually one of them. Disparity in pay in sports is not something new. Babe Ruth made more than the rest of the team combined and the Yankees chemistry in the 20s and 30s was just fine. Do you really think the lowest paid Yankees are not going to try their best because Judge makes $40M a year? No, not everyone can be LeBron or Judge or Aaron Rodgers, but these are team games and everyone tries their best to maximize their own benefit regardless of what others are getting. If LeBron was making the same as the last guy on the bench, what is his incentive to play his very best? What is the incentive for the worst player to improve if he already makes the same as Lebron? Communism in sports is as dumb as communism in business. [/QUOTE]
