Ex-MLBPA director Marvin Miller on Baseball Business
I found this to be an incredibly interesting article. I was confused at first at the whole “a baseball contract is more justifiable than any wall street deal” type of comment until I read what he meant: That the deal itself is free from corruption because both sides of the contract must agree to and sign it. A concept like that seems so simple, but when he points out that this is NOT what happens on wall street for high-level executives, it takes on a much heavier significance.
Talk about insider trading…it’s ridiculous that all the salary decisions are made by the people who benefit from them. It’s just a flat out conflict in interest. How is something like that even legal? Where are these people who determine these things?
Ohhhh right, they’re making the exact same decisions for themselves in Congress. Gee…how are we able to function as a country again? I wonder sometimes…
Thoughts and ideas move the world. They're important, and like everyone else, I like to occasionally share what I'm thinking. I'm a writer with a philosophy degree and a MA in Film Studies, but my thoughts range on everything from Film and Philosophy to Art, Science, Writing, Sports, Social Science, Fiction, the future, the past, my daily life and observations, and, well, anything else I find worthy of sharing. I hope you enjoy what I write and that it makes you think yourself. Feel free to ask any questions!
