Absurd money for anyone. I would just once like to see a one year breakdown of the NFL money. As a common man I just can’t wrap my head around how it is possible to carry such payrolls and all of the other costs associated with NFL and it supposedly makes huge $ for the owners and Goodell? Just see credit/debit/balance ...the money is staggering to me
Buy tickets for a family of 4.
Then they get a share of TV money. Plus gambling money and season tickets, yada yada. Dude these guys are playing their best years away and they and fans pay the bills. The owners rake it in as do the NFL. BOHICA brother and bring your own lube. Otherwise the owners will use sand.
Well, if the owners are making more and more money, should any of it be shared by the players?
Just to give you some perspective, this past year each NFL team received a little over 400 million from TV contracts before selling one ticket to a game. With 32 NFL teams that means the total TV revenue number is well over 12 billion a year.
The NFL salary cap for the upcoming season has been raised to a little over 300 million, with a 53 man roster the average salary per player in the NFL is 6 million.
The NFL far exceeds all the other professional sports in terms TV revenue and fan interest.
All that money comes with the price of using one’s body up at a ridiculously young age, to be plagued with pain and health issues no amount of money can assuage. Add in usually shortened lifespan, having to live one’s productive years mostly away from home and family while peer-pressured to maintain a money-eating lifestyle - not forgetting the agent and “posse” get their cut too.
Now we wonder with all the sports betting if they also sacrifice whats left of their sportsmanship, joy of competing and very souls for a fixed outcome.
Nope, they can have all that with no envy from me.
