$70 million a year! An income that is a dream for millions, also Shohei Ohtani’s income, is the highest ever recorded in baseball. Draymond Green is not too far behind in the competition, although hardly any player would ever reach Ohtani’s level, with his $25,000,000 average annual salary. Jason Whitlock likes to call it “The F-U money”, looking at the way the mammoth amounts have altered a small part of their sportsman spirit.

“Draymond’s been tossed out of 3 games so far. The NBA season barely even 25-30 games, and he’s been tossed out thrice,” mentioned Whitlock. Hinting at the direct correlation, Whitlock blatantly put forward the question that has been hurting not only MLB but football as well: Can athletes make too much money to where it harms their competition and damages the game?

Warren Sapp’s reply to Jason Whitlock’s statement

Players being more obsessed with their income, rather than the sport they play, would be a nightmare for any team. Sapp, being a learned entity who gave 13 years of his life to a sport, knows the serious damage it can cause. Understanding the vitality of the required income for a player, Sapp assumed a rather direct approach. “I don’t want to say to you making too much money. I think the owners just need to say I refuse to pay,” he put it straight forward.

The Pro Football Hall of Famer was determined in his approach to player income, something that has been gaining a lot of wind lately in the NFL. Sapp wanted to focus more on the money part being proportionate with the dexterity of the player. “Right now, I just see a lot of shooting—no defense, you know. Let’s just see how good your skills are,” said Sapp. While the proposition does sound appealing to modify the NIL and income policies, the NCAA is heading in a different direction altogether.
