Professional Athletes Labor Relations

I don't care anymore. I don't care about money. My own money, yes. I care deeply about that and will continue to do so. Orel Hershiser's money, or Gene Autry's money, or the combined Winfield-Steinbrenner billions, or Kareem's salary, or Howie Long's fortune, I don't want to hear about. No mas, no mas.

It used to be that professional tennis players, such as Ivan Lendl, fought their toughest battles on the tennis court. These days, though, the world's No. 1 tennis player is fighting not only those who would usurp his ranking on court but also against those who, he says, would take his money in court. Lendl is embroiled in three lawsuits at the moment, including one countersuit against his former management firm that seeks more than $40 million in damages.
