Continuing again on this week's sports theme, today's longread is from Joe Posnanski, a senior writer at Sports Illustrated. JoePo was a columnist for the Kansas City Star when I was growing up, so I've read a lot of his writing over the years. He's a great writer who does an amazing job of providing perspective on major stories. In this case, he writes about the issue of paying college football and basketball players who are responsible for huge revenues into their universities. I think this column nails it in terms of explaining why it's not so simple as to just say "the players deserve to get paid."
