When you go looking at fan paraphernalia...back in the early 1990s...you could still buy a Bears t-shirt for $8...a regular bears jacket for $50. You go looking for the premium Bears T-shirt today? $29...before taxes. The leather jacket goes in the $600 to $700 range. The regular jackets around $120.
Ask yourself...who pays that kind of money? It’s the middle-class guy. Who pays the $131 ticket for a Bears game? It’s the middle-class guy. All this business just makes that guy question where he’s spending his money.
And the NFL is 65-70% disadvantage black players making a paltry several millions a year. Oh the humanity. Maybe start a GoFund for them, huh?
