This is as clearly as I've seen this spelled out. If the PCSA smelled off to you but you didn't know quite why, this interview offers very lucid proof that you were correct. defector.com/an-antitrust...

What you're saying is, the antitrust exemptions in the NBA, MLB, NFL, etc. are allowed as a result of the collective bargaining process, whereas the PCSA seeks a similar exemption by circumventing the collective bargaining process. Is that correct?

Generally, yes. When we talk specifically about labor markets, all of the restraints that we see in labor markets of our professional sports leagues—the salary cap, the draft, the limits on player movement, every single one of them—to the extent that they're exempt from antitrust law, are the products of good-faith collective bargaining between the management group and the players group, and exist in a collective bargaining agreement that was reached through good-faith bargaining.

What is being proposed with the Protect College Sports Act is to establish the exact same types of labor restraints, specifically a salary cap, specifically a number of years of eligibility to compete in college sports, and specifically limits on transfers, but not to do so in collective bargaining where there are representatives in the room, on behalf of employer and employee, but rather through a legislative bill, which seems to be negotiated by a number of different constituent groups, none of which is a representative of the players in any meaningful sense, and absolutely none of which have been chosen and selected by the players as a union representative.

There is a part at the end of the Oasis doc where Noel talks about how beautiful it is that he can write a song about his own experience and strangers can find their own meaning in that and that’s what connects us and makes art special and idk man, if you don’t get that idk how to help you

This bar has very vocal Iowa, USC east, USC west, Alabama (me) and Florida State supporters. Someone even requested the Miami game on the CW. NYC is the best sports town.

Glad the workers are getting back pay, but these companies are a scourge and ought to be regulated out of existence. DoorDash intentionally broke the law and the people that made those decisions will continue to operate in that way, this fine is just a line item in the budget.

The money point in here by Matt (among many) is that there's very little in this bill that does anything about "sustainability." This is why it would've been good of College GameDay to maybe consider a follow-up question when Ted Cruz used their air to explain why without this bill, teams will die

I am begging people to start thinking about these issues as “labor v capital”and not “these kids are getting paid a lot.” Congress wasn’t complaining when commissioner and coach salaries were skyrocketing, it only became a problem when the money started flowing to the laborers and not management.

we need to check australian student visas to keep punters out specifically. i hate australian punters. bored 20somethings with mullets should no longer be allowed to steal roster spots from honest hard-working god-fearing american specialists

The police station scene in One Night Only was unforgivable, but I think l my biggest gripe with the movie is that they go to a warehouse party in BUSHWICK like 5 hours into the sex purge and NO ONE is having sex. Be for real.
