Part 8/13:
The conversation takes an interesting turn when discussing MLB and how its labor agreement reflects a more organized approach. The speaker recounts a meeting with Scott Boris, the legendary player representative, praising his strategic mastery and understanding of league economics. Boris's reputation as a shrewd negotiator highlights the importance of strong representation and clear league-player relationships.
Baseball’s bargaining structure appears more stable; Boris’s insights reveal a system where negotiations are strategic, long-term, and less prone to crises. Comparably, the speaker perceives that the NFL's current struggles stem from a lack of such cohesive leadership and strategic planning.
