Compared to whom? The owners are billionaires. FYI, it is a myth that every NFL player is a millionaire. The medium pay for a non star player is the mid 100,000. Very few are star players making multi millions. Most players only make several hundred thousand per year, and only spend 2 to 5 years in the league.
If you want something real to bitch about, that would be the OWNERS blackmailing cities, threatening to leave, pitting city against city to get new stadiums. The Giants/Jets never payed off the old stadium before they blackmailed NYC/ and New Jersey to get the new one built, OFF THE BACKS OF THE TAX PAYERS.
The league would be NOTHING without their labor. The league needs to, just like all big businesses, for that matter, all need to stop shitting on workers.
The players are not the problem. Our 36 years of Reagan's failed trickle down economics has been widening the pay gap. 45 has been using race to protect corporate welfare. Shitting on black pro sports players is simply one more tactic in 45s vile sale of white hyper nationalism.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
