This gives him and his parents (which are terrible agents so far) a while until they can (deservedly) bleed Jaedo... I mean Hwaseung Oz dry, or organize a player's strike. As the second most popular sport in South Korea, the top tier players should be making millions of dollars. A comparison: in Israel, Basketball is the second most popular sport - lagging far behind the first. With many leagues spanning from amateur to pro-level (with the best team being one of the top squads in Europe). Even the greatest superstar in Starcraft makes far less than the top tier players in Israel (not even talking about the superstars). Israel's total population: under 7 million people. There are no TV channels dedicated to basketball. Average top-tier salary: $400,000 (up to over 3 million for the highest payed player). South Korea's total population: nearly 50 million people. It's more than reasonable that due to the massive (in comparison) market, the average top-tier salary should make the players millionaires, but instead Jaedong is making money that should be the average for players that are 4th-5th in their team's rotation. That's the money Hyuk should be making. The players are not getting close to their worth from a sheer economic standpoint... Even if the teams weren't massively backed by corporations. TV channels and advertisers are making a fortune on their backs. ... so yeah, the players aren't poor. This is no sweatshop wage. But it is also extremely unfair. Jaedong should be leading the strike. A player's union is a necessity in this case, and the people who should be organizing this are the veterans and parents of the players, and work to establish a much higher minimum wage, flexible FA and contract rules, revise the draft system, and force KeSPA to include players' representatives in every single internal deliberation. These are reasonable requests. | ||

And why Nal_rA in the picture? I know he is still under his KTF contract, but isnt he also under a "commentator" contract under MBC? FA and KeSPA suck hard. All this commotion could have been avoided... | ||

The KT contract with Nal_rA was terminated in this FA. | ||
