I empathize with this because not much thought is put into it, but it is really humans being traded I explain financial assets and derivatives pricing payout expectations to people using analogies of trading athletes versus trading merchandise. A franchise might make 30% on the athlete's value when they trade them out in the future, while a basketball signed by the athlete goes up 1000% in value. The basketball value being derived from the athlete's own value. I do this for emphasis to provide introspection and inspiration, the lack of consideration of them as an asset can definitely be improved.
