Amateur athletes are not employees, they are given the choice to play, go to school and not play, or get a job....does not sound like a captive situation to me, and certainly not in need of picketing, and unions. If you can provide financial reports of huge profits AFTER ALL sports are funded, both male, and female, then we can talk about income redistribution. Until then, I don't see it happening.

Is it redistribution if it's going to the very people who are providing the labor?
