Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Hardcover. Iconic baseball writer Bill James, in 1987, frustrated with MLBs labor stoppages and the decline of the minor leagues, wrote that the minors were an abomination if youre selling a sport and the players dont care about winning, thats not a sport. Thats a fraud an exhibition masquerading as a contest. Bill imagined a better model and proposed that, as opposed to limiting the number of teams in MLB to protect parity, a free market was capable of sustaining many more franchises hundreds, even if we would just allow it to sort out the level at which those cities might best compete. Cap in Hand goes a step further, arguing that a free market in sports teams and athletes once existed and could work again if the monopolists of MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL would simply relent from salary-restraint schemes and reserve-clause models that result in elite talent being spread as thinly as possible and mediocrity being rewarded via amateur drafts and equalization payments. In fact, the model for this exists and may be the most wildly popular and monetarily successful of all professional sports: European football. Cap In Hand asks: what if the four major North American pro sports move beyond the restrictive covenants of the franchise model? The product sold to fans today is a pale copy of what it might be if the market could guide the best players to the best teams, whose ingenuity and innovation would inspire everyone to do better and put on a better show. How salary caps are killing pro sports and why the free market could save them. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
