Re: NLRB rules NW University footballers can unionize
Exactly. It's so silly to claim that they are employees of the school! :roll: Does that mean high school athletes are employees of the school as well? High school athletic associations make money off games too.
And how about really bright 1st year Medical students on a academic medical scholarship? I guess they should be able to see patients too eh?
Now, if you want to say that the student athletes want to have a say in equipment, injury treatment, with funds set aside by to remediate future consequences of their activity today then I would say that is fair...But, to muddy the argument by calling them "employees" or arguing that they should be actually paid to play a sport that is the gateway into possible millions in the NFL, is the epitome of greedy if you ask me.
