Discussions about addressing the league economy from time to time arise… and I always have an issue with them when they do. Largely this stems from the assumption of those making said arguments that there is an inherent problem with the league economy. The reality is with the league setup like it currently is money will always be easy to earn. Spend an hour recording a podcast, writing a media piece, or building a graphic and you’ll have earned probably more then your entire contract for the season. Hell, do it for a 1.5x or 2x media event and you’ll probably have made enough for your entire season's training. This isn’t to say that that is a problem… We should want to encourage media creation in the league… it just means that you’re never going to properly balance the entire league economy because those who put in the time and effort will always be there to easily break it. Even if you were to adjust the cap to try to get teams to spend above the minimum…. It just means teams would more highly value players who create their own media and would accept the minimum contract. Likewise, Dotts and the Casino are nice distractions, but I imagine if you look into the top bank accounts in the league, very few if any of those users play into those option money draining distractions.
