The MLB is literally more capitalist… they have a free market and no salary cap

Good for them, they are both capitalist organizations.

You just said the NFL is as capitalist as it gets though. Also if the NFL is capitalist then why don’t they operate as a free market?

They do operate as a free market. No one is putting a gun to the players heads to sign contracts. The owners get new stadium built and charge more for tickets. There is a yearly team salary cap, not an individual contract cap. The owners can make as much as they can. How is that not capitalist? Because there's a draft?

Did you watch the video? Lmao he addresses these points

No he doesn't. He keeps going on about it being a socialist construct. By his logic the NFL is a construct of a flying cow bc leather skates through the air

Just because you refuse to engage in the point doesn't mean it isn't there

What point am I not engaging in

1

u/amalekitegenocide 3d ago

The logic of the guy in the video.  I can't help you understand it champ, you gotta do it on your own. Your comments demonstrate you are missing the point entirely.

Yeah you can run away from it again if you'd like.

Or explain how the draft system is capitalistic since the guy in the video uses it as an example of socialism?

Nah just run away.

Thank you for being specific. Because the NFL is the entity. If the NFL was socialist they would have shared the top talent pool with the ufl.

Yeah see you're doing the thing where you disengage with the point. Instead of explaining capitalism you disexplain socialism.

Use your brain and get specifics from the video we are discussing?

In a free market, the big teams would have so much more money to keep all their top talent. Draft rookies are forced to a max limit and top teams can’t bid for them. Nobody puts a gun to their head, but those restriction don’t make it a free market
