Players who get hurt during the season shouldn't be paid while they sit out.

Also my biggest dislike about this website is the race baiting and claiming racism for no reason. But I find it interesting that almost all sports have guaranteed contracts. Yet you chose specific sports and positions dominated by blacks running backs and point guards. Why not MLB pitches or NHL goalies. Whats your issue bruh?

OP is mad because he doesn't get sick pay and probably has to bytch for every second he might miss work if he gets injured.

if players didnt get paid when hurt. youd have all sorts of people rushing back through injuries. reaggravating them, and then half the league would wind up like B Roy.

Only a non athletic white male who's never played a sport in their life and is jealous of athletes would make a thread like this. Troll or not this person is you and you're pathetic.

If a player gets hurt he shouldnt be paid his full wage i dont think its fair to the team or organization to have to pay a player all that money when he isnt doing anything

If a point guard or running back blows out their knee they should only recieve half of their check. that will make it fair because they obviously arnt playing so they shouldnt be earning top dollar and by earning half they still get to eat and not go poor. plus it will give the player an incentive to get back to work faster because ive seen players take their time because they are collecting a check still getting paid

if a player has a serious injury that takes them out for the year(or longer) then that salary should be taken off the books and put in a seperate category away from the salary cap.
Only problem I have with these injured players is how they affect the salary cap. I give two shyts if a player gets paid or not. But I hate how one or two injured players can handcuff a team.

The team should still be responsible(or insurance company) for the players salary, but it shouldn't count against the cap.

Fukk that...

So you saying if I'm in the game, I got to the hole and a dude like Demarcus Cousins clobbers me and breaks my arm that I should start only getting half of my paycheck :what:

What did I do wrong and why am I being punished by not getting my full paycheck?

Especially if Im a star and my jerseys are selling like hotcakes and I'm helping you bring in revenue that is 20xs my salary now you want want to cut my check.. :pachaha:

Not even logical....

With that being said, if a player does something outside of basketball and injuries himself not thats something we could possibly have a debate about. But punishing me for something that is not in my control is just stupid

In reality they should just find a better way to balance pay for being on the roster, merchandise, etc...and performance play

It's hurts a teams cap to pay him 18mil to sit a bench all year
