Barry Sanders had his first full day of trading, and as predicted by OSN analysts, he did NOT perform well. He is currently the 9th lowest SOI available on the market, and some folks are freaking out about it. You shouldn’t be surprised. OneSeason is a popularity contest. It’s a pop culture popularity contest. Barry Sanders is nowhere on the pop culture radar. Michael Jordan is. Here is OSNTV anchor “TheBrett” and his comments on this situation.

The reason Legends are not worth where they historically would be is cultural relevance.
Same reason you don’t see Joe Montana selling Chunky Soup right now.
The world is a pop culture radar and the newest hottest thing will always be in demand.
Barry Sanders may have been 100 times the player Matt Forte could ever possibly be, but I guarantee you Matt Forte runs for more yards this season.
The only legend who should hold value at this stage is Jordan as he is still a central pop culture icon. We are buying and selling shares which derive value from other people’s desire to own.

What are your thoughts on this? Visit the forums or comment here. This will be discussed LIVE tonight on OSN Radio as well.
