Fans like Poe kind of disgust me, as they completely dehumanize these guys. They're not your personal entertainment puppets, they're people. They owe you, as a fan, nothing. They owe their employers to perform the duties in their contract. If for whatever reason they choose not to perform these duties, then their employer is not obligated to pay them, just like any other employer/employee relationship.
They make 10-20x more than you to play a game and that bothers you? Then stop watching hockey. The career earnings of someone in any given profession does not limit their entitlement to rights as a person in the workforce.

Woah your horse, are you suggesting that we as fans owe the players something?? My friend, that is not how the service industry works.
