I draft Tye Hill or Sam Bradford or Greg Robison and pay them a lot and they don't perform. I ask for my money back.....oh yeah, doesn't work that way.
and your example of real world is ridiculous: So I scrimp and save take some risks and open a coffee shop....let's say I even buy a starbucks franchise. I have an employee who is really good and sells a lot of coffee and brings in customers who rave about their customer service. Do I give them a percentage of the franchise? Instead of paying them $11 and hour do I pay the $75 an hour.....they can quit and demand that from another coffee shop....yeah
Let's start with the example you used. It's such an exaggeration that it's meaningless.
If you had an awesome employee, no you're not gonna pay them 7 times as much. That's so exaggerated it's absurd.
If they really are a valuable employee and bringing in new business, you may want to give them a raise that makes them the highest paid barista in the city. Let's say that would be $13 per hour instead of the $11 you're doing. And if you really wanted to ensure they don't get away it wouldn't kill you to give that most amazing barista ever $15/hour. That's about a 20% overpayment. (19% BTW is the difference between what the Rams are reportedly offering ($21M) and what AD is reportedly demanding ($25M))
What I'm saying is, said most amazing barista ever could probably go to another coffee shop in town and get that $15 they seek.
That's the main point. Your employee would be able to immediately leave and/or shop their services around. CBA bound NFL players cannot do that until after 5 years. Surely you would agree that if said most amazing barista ever was locked into serving your starbucks for 5 years, they would be at a severe disadvantage?
I've already acknowledged that are times where a player underperforms giving the team a raw deal. The difference is, there is an escape mechanism where the team can get out of that bad deal. Surely you see the difference?
