All our professional sports leagues are prime examples of socialism.
This 100%.

We would never use such a system in the world's best sport.

Keep your socialists sports.
Isn't it so that your players don't even have a choice where to go in that draft n stuff?
If they said no, would they be able to get a contract anywhere else in the leagues?

What's funny is that America has used forms of Socialism for decade's. Police, unions, prisons are all forms of socialism. Although I could be wrong.
prison system should be socialized, so that there isn't a profit incentive to imprison people. and so that costs aren't cut while trying to rehabilitate people. but private prisons exist. unfortunately

firefighters is a great example of a social program

public education is another example. the question with this one is whether or not the amount of public education should be raised from 12th grade to 14th or 16th grade

They aren't socialist. They are an organized in such a way to create no competition between owners to protect their profits. They are like OPEC.

Yeah.

Was just playing on the trope that for a large group of Americans everything not completely unregulated is socialist.
Still a system that cuts freedoms of players quite a bit.

I mainly dislike it because of the franchise system. AFAIK none of those are natural grown clubs and teams, feels fairly artificial.
Of course we have artificially propped up clubs here as well.

One of my brothers is a Trumptard but uses state-funded health insurance for his kids because his employer-paid private insurance is too expensive.

Our employers cover us at no cost, and cover part of his cost, we pay the rest. 3k a year for a whole family isn't bad imo.
How common is it for employers to cover the entirety? What is the value of the plan and what would your sons be if not covered in part by your employer? If you have another kid is it another 3000$?
