“The CEOs and the sports figures are not fiduciaries. They are not in a trust relationship with the people who pay their salary. A sports figure, for example, uses a representative of the union and negotiates a fee with the baseball team, and they do pretty well. But it is all a contract negotiation. If George Steinbrenner is willing to take any New York Yankee player, whatever he is willing to pay him, that is what he thinks he is worth, that is what he brings in the gate, that player is not taking advantage of George Steinbrenner or the New York Yankee fans based upon any fiduciary responsibility. It is the same thing with respect to the boards of directors who set the salaries of CEOs of major corporations.”
