Question

1.  "A sports fan for 65 years, I am opposed to the Northwestern football players’ recent vote to be unionized. Because their sport generates much revenue, they hope to convince the public that college athletes should be paid and are being shortchanged by universities....

Our institutions of learning have far more pressing concerns than paying athletes; they include poor academic performance (especially by athletes), rape and other campus assaults, skyrocketing tuition and scant job opportunities for graduates."

Is a fallacy present? If so, which one?
