When the players were negotiating the covid protocols I saw a 1000 articles where completely uninformed people went off about how "in the old days players were just happy to play for free . . . ." "Players in the past realized how lucky they were....." Yeah, sure. Babe Ruth would have played for free. Sure. How many times did he hold out for more money?
Nostalgia is a wonderful tool. You can just summon up an imaginary time that solves all of of our current ailments.
