Message: [QUOTE="Dogdude, post: 5350643, member: 13168"] It's interesting to see parallels from alternative business worlds. For example, in my business, I deal with many subcontractors, who also work for others in my exact line of work, therefor, my competitors. I have to meet two criteria for them to consider working for me vs. a competitor. 1: I have to have a pleasant work environment, calm, organized and efficient, so they know they can get in, get their work done, and get out quickly in order to maximize their profit. 2: I have to pay well. There's some sort of balancing act going on with each individual subcontractor; good pay vs. good work environment. Sometimes people pay well, but are a pain in the neck. A guy can take two less-well paying clients, but get the jobs done quicker and with less stress, and end up making more. There's no conflict of interest in these business working for multiple competitors, everyone knows what's going on, you just need to offer a better combination if you want the best producers. The W and the players are in a similar dynamic. Pay is an issue, but also working conditions, and as mentioned above, the ability to work for other leagues when not working for the W. If I'm going to be held to only one employer at the expense of others, that pay better be really good. And I kind of doubt that it will be that good. The league got far more media attention with the Phee/Englebert blowup than the actual finals, so I doubt their position is quite that strong. It's getting there, but not quite yet. [/QUOTE]
