The top guy could be someone who can negotiate well, so it might not be a player. I believe the NHL recently got Donald Fehr to be their leader and he didn't play hockey to the best of my knowledge. Well, for the NHL they always seem to have non-players as the executive director, but players as the president (Trevor Linden, Mike Gartner, etc). So no, having a player as the president isn't uncommon or surprising, really. | ||

Forgive me if this isn't the first time this has happened but to me this is new. I can't believe you said that. The people who think that esports is a real sport and we need real laws and organizations to protect it are absolutely ridiculous | ||

the lack of a real player's union in BW was a huge disadvantage to the players when it came to contract time. Smart of them to set this up early before big companies and big sponsors are able to firmly entrench themselves against the people who make content possible | ||
