Capitalism is also in play in the scenarios bemoaning the status of folks having to work two jobs to make ends meet. It's why, when I was in demand at the top of my field, I could switch employers every two years and negotiate for a significant bump in pay & benefits. Skills are either in demand and paid a premium, or skills (or lack thereof) are a commodity and compensated as such.   r

At any rate, an argument that says capitalism is good for players, but coaches shouldn't whine while some folks struggle from payday to payday is a crap argument. It's all dictated by capitalistic market forces.

As Alec Baldwin said to Mark Wahlberg: "The world needs plenty of bartenders."

FTR, I say this as someone who, when I later owned my own business, had to go on food stamps for a month or so in order to make payroll during the 08-09 recession. Nobody to blame but me. I could've taken a menial job and made more per hour and not have the burden of working every single weekend and taking my job home with me every single night, but I'd put in my time in corporate so I didn't have to work for anyone but myself.
