In pro sports should a % of players salaries be tied to wining?

Yes. It'd increase the "haves" of the owners and the "have nots" of the players.

That would depend on how the cap was structured. A cap like the NHL, which defines a share of league revenues that are allocated to player salaries may not have this effect - while still improving competitive balance.

Only about 25%...the remainder should go towards his dining; women; and song.

Oh...I see...it's a typo...I guess you meant "A player's whining"...
in that case, grant him all that Scott Boras asks for!

I thought the thread meant wining players and if they wine or act out they lose money:p

I'm sorry, but describing any athlete making millions of bucks as a 'has not' is patently ridiculous.

A salary cap would suppress the salaries of the players and increase the wealth of the owners. Wasn't meant to imply that any athlete is a "has not." I just used the same phrases he did.
