Rant: every player being rich has ruined my interest in the league (alien.top)

This has been an “issue” for a long time, but ever since every player became a millionaire, wins and losses haven’t mattered as much to me. Oh, the Lakers are losing to the Kings tonight. So what? Every player is set for life. The 60s-90s were more interesting because players were fighting for survival. Yes, they’ve been making tons of money, but I now it’s so overblown. Yes, players are still fighting for contracts and playing time, but it’s not the same.

I wish there were non-guaranteed contracts or more incentive-based deals. In-season tournament? What’s the appeal? Why would someone who makes $5 million per year care much about winning the tournament? Bragging rights? Additional money? Meh.

What the hell does another dude's salary matter to you?

If those dudes' paychecks bother you, go check out some games at the park.

Unfortunately the guys at the park might make more money than you too.

In that case I dunno what to tell you 😂
