Their job is to play. How good or bad they play, may alter their pay, but their job is to play.


Their job is not to win, or The Browns and Lions would've been dissolved 20 years ago.


Just like ANY job, if you do WELL at it you will get paid more.

they play well in order to win.

they can only do what is within their control, which is their own play. They play to win the game.

A fry cook isn't paid to fry more fries. They are paid $9 hr to fry fries. If they fry fries gooder, they get paid more.

Cause:Effect.

Root Cause = The Job.

You are a simpleton.

The question was what their JOB was, not what their motivation for the job is.

so if they go out and play and their play doesn't make the team better, would you expect them to continue to be employed?

Doesn't change the fact that they were hired to play the sport. Not to be good at it.

Nope. Just like I wouldn't expect a cook to keep his job if he keeps burning steaks.

But his JOB is to cook the fucking steaks.


Let's circle back to the legal aspect of things, since you chose to drop that. Legally, (which I think has more clout than your shitty opinion), legally, they are entertainment.
