[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 617297"] Actually, this is fairly common in the entertainment industry at large. While "injury" per se is not an issue outside sports, there are many highly paid jobs where the "players" get big advance money on the speculation of a hit product, while those players are at high risk of a short shelf life. Think of all the tween idols who failed to transition as their audience ages. Or movie actresses, who are hired first for their looks and secondarily for their acting ability...the ones still working past age 40 are far outnumbered by the ones who don't. Anyhow, it could be worse...MLB and NBA contracts are fully guaranteed. I'm convinced that the rash of arm injuries to MLB pitchers are partly a function of young players throwing all out on too high of a percentage of pitches to get to that second contract, after which the chips fall where they may, provided they last that long.
