THEIR SALARY IS DERIVED FROM MANUAL LABOR WHAT THE FUCK ELSE WOULD THEY BEEEEE

[strawberryblondebutch]

The Kansas City Royals generated approximately $330 million in revenue last year. Who deserves a greater percentage of this money?

Bobby Witt Jr, whose ability to hit and throw a ball has brought the Royals substantial amounts of money from fans going to games to see him, buying his jersey, and otherwise participating in their Royals fandom;

John Sherman, who has done none of that, and whose job seems to consist mostly of asking taxpayers to finance things on his behalf

What pro-salary cap baseball fans who make the “millionaire vs billionaire” argument always miss is the critical fact that a huge part of the players’ labor movement is specifically tied to being classified as employees because previously they were just considered property.

This distinction matters to them. It means they have rights!

MLB team owners have twice been told in legal rulings that their labor practices were illegal and a violation of common law rights to labor and contract (1914, 1975) in lawsuits filed against them by their players. MLB players in 1975 essentially created professional sports free agency by consistently pushing back on their league’s unfair practices.

Being an employee is a point of pride for them and is fundamentally nonnegotiable because most of them, historically, weren’t.

They fought relentlessly for a century and a half to be considered employees. Several players were blackballed and publicly smeared for pushing back against the owners for this. The least we can do as fans is acknowledge the work that’s been put in and consider them as the employees they are.

The employees are currently watching (under what is essentially a gag order until November!) as their bosses try to persuade the customers to help bully them into accepting institutionalized salary suppression, because it’s easier for the bosses than holding each other to task and closing some revenue sharing loopholes.
