Subject: M-INTRO: Michael Jordan


To consider that Micheal Jordan is exploited is not correct.  If Michael
Jordan were exploited, it would make sense to say that CEOs of large
companies are also exploited because they, through their decisions and
position of importance, make billions of dollars but only get paid a small
fraction of it.  

Considering Marx's idea of abstract human labor, I think that Michael
Jordan gets paid plenty for how much value he actually creates throwing a
ball at a hoop.  The other value of sports gear, ticket sales, etc. are
other commodities produced by other people and therefore the other people
are creating the value.
