Two Permanent A+ list athletes, one a superstar, the other a jack of all trades. Decades ago, they were good friends. That friendship was permanently ended when the jack of all trades lost the ability to trust the superstar. The jack of all trades wanted to form a player’s union and the superstar reported his friend to the sport’s owner. Later on, during a legal battle with said owner, the jack of all trades would discover that, at a particularly well-attended event, the superstar was getting paid more than all of the other athletes in the event combined, and almost certainly would have his financial value reduced by a union.
