Omsk "Avangard" Team Captain Takes a Pay Cut
Hockey's Altruists Strike Again: Damir Sharipzyanov Agrees to a Pay Cut
It's hockey season, and Damir Sharipzyanov, the captain of Avangard, is stepping up to the plate—or the ice, rather—by taking a substantial pay cut. This tidbit comes courtesy of the reputable hockey Telegram channel, HockeyRu.
Last season, Sharipzyanov raked in 75 million rubles. But for this upcoming season, he's set to earn 60 million rubles. That's right, no more eyebrow-raising 80 million, contrary to Archibald's fanciful imagination.
Remember the "altruists" from SKA? Well, they're not just a myth. In the hard-nosed world of professional sports, "altruists" are players who sacrifice personal earnings for the greater good of the team. Nikishin and others were part of this band of selfless athletes. One particularly noble figure even played for free—Gritsyuk. His agent surely deserves an Oscar for best performance under pressure.
With Avangard's financial wizards, Vladimir Eduardovich Tkachev, pressing hard, that same agent better be ready for a whole new round!

What about the pay cut for Damir Sharipzyanov in hockey, similar to the SKA's 'altruists' sacrifices in sports? Or perhaps, He's following in the footsteps of the SKA's selfless athletes, taking a pay cut like Nikishin, and even Gritsyuk who played for free?
