This discussion didn't want to die, so here is a thread just for it.

Would you accept a 20% raise from what we paid you last month?

Happy holidays to all! Thank you everyone for making this place the best place to talk Blue Bomber football!

That sounds uncomfortable!

According to LinkedIn, Joe Mack is still VP/GM of the Bombers. https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-mack-1416965/

What is the alternative? What is it going to accomplish to ostracize and denigrate those that refuse? It is never too late. People can always change their mind, and for everyone's sake, every effort to do so needs to be made. https://globalnews.ca/news/8245020/former-manitoba-anti-vaxxer-credits-family-with-changing-his-mind-they-did-it-with-love/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/05/03/vaccine-hesitant-americans-change-minds-debeaumont-foundation/

Olympics are a few months away. States announce a diplomatic boycott a few days ago. Canada fallows suit today. Don't think China cares.

If wishes and buts were candies and nuts we'd all have a Merry Christmas. This is my whole point that there ARE people out there who are not getting vaccinated. So how do you expect to get them out there to get vaccinated if the topic is not worth being discussed. If we all just want to call them names and tell them why they are horrible people, nothing will change. So do you care about getting people vaccinated or do you care about being righteous and telling people how horrible they are.

If you think this topic is not worth debating then you are just as bad as people who won't get vaccinated. Do you care about being "right" and simply shaming and calling other people out. Or do you actually care about societal impact like you claim and do what you can to convince people to being vaccinated. Shutting them out, calling them names, and similar tactics will only force them to dig into their beliefs deeper.

Your point was about them being underpaid.

There are many people who are in the top 1% of what people can do, but don't get paid that money, and have injury risk. It is just in something other than the top professional sports leagues. Even if you want to keep this to athletics, there are a lot of Olympians who are in the top 1% of what they do that don't make that money. By your rational, you can't compare hockey players to basketball players, as the top 1% of basketball players make X, the top 1% of hockey players make Y, and top 1% of high jump athletes make Z. They all end up making what the market they compete in pays.
