the matter.

If this leads to nfl players and mlb players forming a bond similar to basketball players, there will be change. Those leagues are not even close to being player unified, so if these pushes those players to demand change, then this could lead to a complete unified sports front...along with college players.

Imagine if all those persons combined their resources and money together, they could form their own sports federation complete with their own sports leagues, and set up deals with TV networks and the companies they endorse.

That whole movement would render owners and corporations useless. With social media and technology, players have direct access to consumers. It would be similar to an independent artist disregarding signing or using a major record label, and creating his own label.

When it comes to how baseball was desegregated, they don’t really reveal why that happened. We always get the Jackie Robinson story, etc . However, white owners feared that star white players would join black negro league players to form their own league. White players were making more money barnstorming with black players than they were in MLB, and some think Jackie being placed in MLB was actually an act that killed the negro leagues. That’s how powerful the negro leagues were, but they just didn’t know it,and didn’t have any leverage at the time.

Now they have leverage.
