Can’t make sense of the NFL or NBA lockout situations or their implications? You’re not alone. Hard caps. TV revenues. Guaranteed money. These are hardly the battle cries of a typical labor dispute. Well, maybe that’s because pro sports franchises really aren’t you’re typical business. In fact Malcolm Gladwell argues: they aren’t really businesses at [...] August 24th, 2011 | reply to: @joshuacitrak | Tags: ballin, C.R.E.A.M., global economy, history, imperialism, sports = opium | Category: uncategorized |
