And that's what they did.

KSR
2026-06-05 KSR - Hour 1

So now whether it passes or not, there's now a lot of people suggesting maybe it won't.

KSR
2026-06-05 KSR - Hour 1

Whether it passes or not, though, the question of whether they're employees, they're leaving for a time in the future.

KSR
2026-06-05 KSR - Hour 1

Well, they have to agree to it.

KSR
2026-06-05 KSR - Hour 1

I appreciate the call.

KSR
2026-06-05 KSR - Hour 1

I mean, nobody has to do anything that they don't agree to.

KSR
2026-06-05 KSR - Hour 1

That's what pro sports is.

KSR
2026-06-05 KSR - Hour 1

There's rules.

KSR
2026-06-05 KSR - Hour 1

But the problem is they don't want to make them an employee and they want to put all this stuff on them.

KSR
2026-06-05 KSR - Hour 1

And courts just are going to say no unless you create legislation specifically for them.

KSR
2026-06-05 KSR - Hour 1

And we're seeing how hard that is to happen.

KSR
2026-06-05 KSR - Hour 1

It already feels like pro sports, so just make it pro sports.

KSR
2026-06-05 KSR - Hour 1

I mean, a lot of them are making more money than some professionals.

KSR
2026-06-05 KSR - Hour 1

I don't understand why we have to live in this myth that it's not.

KSR

We're paying Milan $6 million.
