Last Word: Money dictates sport and Hardik’s swap shows the rise of player power

The Hindu  

Just how much does a player owe his sport? Earlier, the Spanish golfer Jon Rahm who had once said he was not interested in money, had jumped on Saudi Arabia’s LIV bandwagon for a reported half a billion. Those criticising the players for seeing sport merely as business usually don’t have access to such numbers. When sports go through such churning, a small percentage of players make a lot of money but when things settle, players at the base of the pyramid get uplifted, too. It may be old-fashioned to think that a player owes sport more than sport owes him if it owes him anything at all.
