Juss wondering, notice how most players get paid over 1-2 million dollars? Now if there was a lockout or juss banned a whole sport, how much money would that give our government??

Who pays the sports organization? Not our government. Who pays our nurses? Not our government. Who pays our scientist? Not our government. Who pays the actors, the actress' or our musicians, not our government. Government funds pay for government jobs...
