My nephew works for the NFL. According to him, the NFL employs about 300 people. Those people work year-round. There is a lot to do even during the non-season. I haven't yet found out whether he survived the furlough, but I doubt he did.

I recall a few years ago seeing a job posting for a job with the NFL (now that I think about it, may have been with the NFL Players Association) in their benefits department. IIRC, the job entailed assisting players with their retirement and health insurance benefits questions and issues. I seriously considered applying.

Here’s an article from 2017 about jobs with the NFL.

I’m waiting for the the people working from home who seem to love the lock down and have no problem extending it so they can “feel safe” to get laid off or furloughed to immediately whine about paying bills.

One of my uncles had a version of that.

I haven’t seen it since the mid 80s.

Whereabouts and condition unknown.

Do the players get paycuts? Didn’t think so.
