People give value to the franchise they play for. For example, a good player might increase the sales of a jersey for the team. Players are in a way, like influencers, but constricted to commercials and team goods.
And that's true, but why and how is it worth several million dollars in salary? I mean what you're saying is, they're paid to be a commodity to sell products - which I think is very true - but I still believe the salaries are ridiculously over the top.
Players associations. Basically player unions
That's a big part of it, to be sure. I didn't take the unions into account.
