No Luxury tax this year

I can't believe it when people justify robbing the players to pay the owners?? Are you saying the owners deserve it more than the players? Or should Electrical Engineers from UT get it? Your salary comparison just makes no sense to me. The owners (who many of them are trust fund babies on a joy ride) redistribute 10% of player's money to all owners before they redistribute a penny of Luxury Tax amongst themselves. These owners make a killing, and the fact the Luxury Tax didn't hit this year, proves their margins are high!!

The point is that if I was getting paid millions of dollars to play basketball in front of thousands of fans, getting p***y anytime I wanted, and unlimited fame, I wouldn't b**** about a few bucks here and there.

Nobody in the world makes the kind of money that pro athletes do. Not even CEO's of large corporations get those kinds of salaries. Of course the CEO has plenty of stock and profit sharing, but the players have their endorsement deals.

Oh, and yes, I wish EE's got paid more too.
