Makers and Takers
David Roth, Sports On Earth
Capitalism |
There's a certain obvious irony in the way that the more radical and militant members of sports' ownership caste fashion themselves as Randian ubermenschen -- and they're all men, all of them -- while heroically milking and leveraging and generally living their Hobbesian ideals in a phony, un-free market that they have brazenly shaped to ensure their success. But this is satire too good and too lacerating to draw a laugh.
