If I'm paying some kid $10M a year I want to know how big his left nut is.

Is it legal to ask prospective employees this question? A few years ago a VP at my company shut down conversation that even hinted that a prospective manager might be a single mother because he said we weren't allowed to ask that question (or similar questions). He said we shouldn't even talk about it casually (which is how it was being talked about).

The reason it even came up was because one person wondered how committed to the job she might be, moving her family etc. I can see why it might not be appropriate, but also see how it could be relevant.

BTW she got the job.

Umm...yeah, that's wrong.

Explain to me how NBA players are contractors... I'll wait.

It's based on your perspective, quite simply
