You seriously can't tell the difference between MIA and those examples?
College players don't get paid.
Brady took less money to give his management a better chance at acquiring players, not for his friend's to join the team (who also took pay cuts). Brady wants to know his championships weren't an orchestrated farce.
If a team wants to spend more money and pay extra in taxes they can, it's their money. Nothing wrong with spending more. Something fukked up about taking less money so you can play with two other premier players who also agree to take less.
It was a conspiracy at the expense of competitive balance. It wouldn't be as big of an issue if it wasn't LeBron James, who has the skill level to lead a team to a championship on his own. To join a team to play second fiddle is flat out disgusting if you are a fan of the game. If you aren't outright disgusted and insulted by the actions of those three players then you clearly don't give a fukk about the game. They have put into motion a perverted way of going about things that should fukk up that league for years to come.
