2x face value? It should be 10x what they sold them for. You can take the playa out of the hood, but you can’t take the hood out of the playa.

My guess is they resold them for way more than 2X. Cost of doing business.

I guess the NFL doesn’t want any competition when it comes to charging outrageous prices for tickets.

Exactly correct. When it was given to the players it was their property. Speaking of property that is what the NFL Owners consider the players, "just their property."

Let the Free Market prevail in the vision of Adam Smith.

way, way, back in the day, it was how players in many sports supplemented their paltry pay.

Today, things are a bit different.

Not unless you allow it.

I have a team in my town and it’s been many years since they’ve gotten a dime of my hard earned money......and I don’t forsee that changing anytime soon.

People worship spectator sports way too much. I used to be like that but I believe I’ve been cured of that malady.

It’s why they call them fans. Fan is short for fanatic.

Sports fanatics are really boring people.
