Are Players' Unions Good for Professional Sports Leagues?


Add your own review!

Overview

In 1994, baseball owners proposed a salary cap on players, an action which led players to strike. This strike effectively ended the baseball season two months early and eliminated the World Series that year. This notable instance left many fans, players, and the public grappling with the role of unions in professional sports leagues. Were they good for baseball? Should fans be factored into questions of labor in sports? If players make more than the average worker, do they really need to bargain collectively? This anthology presents the conflicting evidence in arguments responding to these questions, and prompts readers to contextualize arguments for and against unions through inquiry and analysis.
