*Why Your Team Sucks: Special Edition

[gucci]

I mean, are there some issues? Sure. But I wouldn't leave it at the feet of the HO for the vast majority of them and the issues that do exist require a lot of work to potentially fix.

Like there's a lot of points here around the economy of the league. Pointing at Dotts or the stock market activities as being a problem is way off base. Folks like Infinite and Steg did the work to earn that money, and they should be rewarded for it. That said, the economy is funny when it comes to contracts and the folks with large bank accounts are potentially able to take deals that are more team-friendly because they don't really need the money.

So if your issue is that we need to look at the contract minimums for players and reevaluate or potentially add nuance, I'm all for it. But don't shit all over other stuff that people have put a lot of time and effort in that is only slightly related to the issue.

Arkz, don’t feel I’m going after you specifically here, because you’re hardly the first person to say this in these comments, but I don’t think I “Shit all over” anyone or anything in this. I suggested there are fundamental structural issues that the entrenched elite of the league will fight tooth and nail to keep in place, choosing to instead create fun new activities rather than address issues. The more people that come in here and cry because I said I don’t get why others spend their money in Dotts, the more it takes away from my original point. I understand that it took caltroit, Mith, and the rest of that team an incredible amount of time and effort to make them and that people enjoy buying them, but it’s not the focus of this article. They are mentioned because I believe that the use of new features as a method to avoid structurally reworking parts of the league structure that have been outgrown is now standard practice.

Believe it or not, the ultra rich are not the wealth inequality I reference. Infinite, Isa, Steg, and Tesla made their money through making content. There’s a class of players who subsist as max earners solely off of league jobs, which is why I call into question non-transparent hiring processes, conflicts of interests, and scarcity of opportunities for players to get hired for jobs. Not because I think infinite and Steg need their HO salaries lol.
