Imposing a salary cap on professional athletes is an unfair practice. We may object to a system in which a football player can earn a hundred times more than a schoolteacher. We should not single out professional athletes. No other profession is subjected to a limitation on its earnings. The public never complains about this.
Athletes earn their money just as honestly as everyone else.
They should be given the same earning opportunities. Sports franchises are much like other corporations in this country. They are profit-seeking businesses. Superstars such as Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky increase profits by attracting more fans. Their salaries should reflect that increase.
