Recently a variety of developmental sports leagues, including Major Junior Hockey in Canada, and Minor
League Baseball in the United States, have been challenged to pay athletes at least
minimum wage.
Write a short brief (500-750 words) aimed at a general sports audience explaining the potential effects of
requiring teams to pay minimum wage, and take/defend a position on whether such a requirement would be a
positive or negative development, in your opinion. (I am not asking you to make an argument on the legality of the issue.)
