@Topps what happened to utilizing blind Dutch auctions instead of this money grab BS @joshluber @Fanatics

[Tom from FGL @tom_fgl]

@Topps what happened to all the talk about double blind Dutch auctions? Getting a little greedy are you?

Looking for cpa with NY small business experience if anyone has any recommendations hmu!

[Tom from FGL @tom_fgl]

@HobbyCollectiv success posts went crazy last week. Hyped for what is sure to be another successful week coming up 🥵

[Tom from FGL @tom_fgl]

@BostonMMAGuy And that’s fine! I just was saying 15k a year isn’t a living wage 🤝 good convo appreciate that it remained civil throughout! Best of luck in your collecting!

[Tom from FGL @tom_fgl]

@BostonMMAGuy Professional sports teams and leagues get more “handouts” then you or I ever will.

[Tom from FGL @tom_fgl]

@BostonMMAGuy Yes record deals are full of handouts… and there are tons of musicians who make undeserved money in this country.

[Tom from FGL @tom_fgl]

@BostonMMAGuy You’re determining worth based only on ticket and concession sales. That’s like saying because a teacher doesn’t meet any sort of sales quota they shouldn’t exist.

[Tom from FGL @tom_fgl]

@BostonMMAGuy The music industry has a long history of shading dealings with artists, predatory practices and racial discrimination in payments. So I don’t think that’s the one you want to draw comparisons to.

[Tom from FGL @tom_fgl]

@BostonMMAGuy What’s your definition of living wage?

This country has minimum wage requirements to protect workers from unadulterated corporate interests. These players are currently not offered the same protections.

Baseball is a business at the pro level and needs to be treated as such

[Tom from FGL @tom_fgl]

@BostonMMAGuy And I’d argue that asking people to be paid a living wage isn’t “for the love the game”. The opposite is true, the people saying these folks should find other jobs so they can keep playing for Nickels are the ones saying they should play for the love of the game.

@BostonMMAGuy MLB like all major sports in the United States aren’t true capitalist enterprises. They benefit from government sanctioned monopolies, obscene tax benefits and public financed facilities. As such they are subject to greater public scrutiny.

[Tom from FGL @tom_fgl]

@BostonMMAGuy The current still allows them to pay poverty wages so you’re right it hasn’t faltered.

[Tom from FGL @tom_fgl]

@BostonMMAGuy So it’s not a livable wage and they don’t deserve one. Got it 🤙🏼

[Tom from FGL @tom_fgl]

@BostonMMAGuy That needs to be accounted somewhere in your economic value analysis. Minor league players bring more value to the MLB then simply the ticket and concession sales at a minor league game.

[Tom from FGL @tom_fgl]

@BostonMMAGuy You can argue they are paid their economic worth (which is what you are doing). But I’d argue you’d need to take into account that without a robust minor league system the MLB product falters. A product that made had 10 billion in revenue last year.
