League Baseball) players can make anywhere from $500,000 per season to upwards of $30,000,000 per season. How much each individual player makes depends on their performance (and high-level performers result in more entertainment for fans.) A player that hits forty homeruns in a season is more entertaining to watch than one who may hit zero home runs in a season, and in every instance the player that hits forty homeruns makes more money than anyone with none. No matter how much a player is making…
Fighting in the National Hockey League is a huge topic in the sports world. Players are getting paid to be on a team just to fight. The players who do get hurt from fighting don’t really care because those injuries aren’t nearly as severe as injuries from just playing the game. “ In the most recent NHL Players’ Association survey, 98 percent of players said they support fighting, and they’re the ones with the most skin in the game. Of course, if advertisers don’t want to be associated with the…

feature of basketball — at least for me — is that you can translate the box score statistics tracked for each player into one number that tells us how many wins each player produces. (This process is explained both online and in my textbook Sport Economics.) This means we can say one player is worth more wins than another.
