What is this, feudal France? Since when is being a student worker at a school seen as pejorative? Is there a real concern we're gonna look down our noses at athletes as proles?
Edit: The more I think about it, the more I realize that they don't even argue that athletes aren't workers or employees. They expend a lot of effort saying it's bad to think of them that way, but much less time addressing whether it's true or not.
