What Is Wrong With The PBA? - It’s All About The Money (Part 2 of 3)
4The pandemic has been taking its toll on the PBA. The league has been forced to adjust its schedule. For more than a year already, teams are playing in empty venues, without cheering and adoring fans. They could have capitalized on the situation by providing entertainment to the viewers held captive by the pandemic if they only were able to play, hold games, and televise them at least on a consistent basis. But the lockdown itself forced the cancellation of at least two conferences. With no end in sight, the league, and this time, the players, had to make great sacrifices, if only to prevent another postponement of the conference and the further cancellation of games.
However, there are issues that have been plaguing the league for quite some time, even before the pandemic. The problem has something to do with the way the league has been conducting itself. Their rules and policies, action, or inaction, have been hurting the league for the past few years, eroding the confidence of fans, players, and some stakeholders.
In this three-part series, we will discuss what is wrong with the PBA, and in what ways it affects the league negatively. The problems we will discuss are issues that must be tackled by the league once the pandemic is over (or maybe the soonest time possible). They had to do so in order to strengthen the league against severe challenges, both from the inside and out.
In this second part, we will talk about how players’ salaries and incentives could significantly alter the balance of power in the league, and how the failure of the league to manage properly the issue of salaries and incentives led eventually to the lack of parity in the PBA. Lastly, we will discuss how it affects the players, and how those effects eventually haunted the league in unexpected ways.
