Espn ethers NFL contracts

[Absolut]

It will be a while.

most leagues rights fees are wrapped up for a decade or so. if not before, by the end of that decade espn will absolutely be scrambling to find money to pay

I feel like it's A LOT harder if not impossible to actually determine an NFL players worth for 2 reasons..

so many players are reliant on the next man being about to do there job ..

and also players are only so good as the scheme and postions that the coaches put them in.

The best corner in the game ain't shyt without a decent pass rush.. and The best QB isn't shyt without a good O Line ...

It's like when QBs like Joe Flacco throws a 5 tats dump off pass and the guy runs 50 yards for a TD who deserves the bulk of the credit for making that happen...

The coaches who designed the play.. the QB for hanging in the pocket.. or the RB for doing all of the heavy lifting....

NFL players are p*ssy ass nikkas. Letting the owners do em dirty like that

 

[boskey]

This isn't gonna help Goodell sell the football to kids..

 

[Based Lord Zedd]

shyt ia so stupid to compare. Only reason nfl players dont make as much is because its takes a lot more players to complete and nfl team than an nba.


You never sre Nba fans compare the nba contracts to mlb though

Basketball is also one of the cheapest sports to play. We know the revenues, what about the profits?

 

[who_better_than_me]

Wrong, the NFL brings in significantly more revenue than the NBA.
Last year NFL had 13 billion in revenue, NBA had 4 billion, hell MLB brings in more revenue than the NBA.

All the other sports get more money because they don't have the worst union in all of sports with the dumbest talent pool.

NFL player gave up guaranteed money, gave up independent arbitration, allowed these teams to give them hard caps, just overall worthless union, and always has been especially when Upshaw was there, might be even worse with De Smith.

The wnba aint nowhere to be found on that list

Thats not fair

for one, the NFL plays far fewer games and has 53 people on the roster to feed

2nd

the NFL owners could lock out the players and not really be hurt. There is no alternative. The NBA tries to pull this shyt, the players will stay in Europe until they get what they want. The NFLPA has ZERO leverage over the owners when it comes down to it

I don't think it's that simple. The lack of NFL alternatives hurts players' leverage but owners would still be hurt if players shut down the league with a strike. Just as players have no alternative neither do the owners.

 

[Savior]

Yep add to the fact that Americans would watch the sport even without the players as shown with the player strike in the 80s (and the league using replacement players). Americans love football and it doesn't matter who plays or what players are on the field. Add illegal gambling and fantasy football and you can see how the NFL is a monster.

The nba players have a strike and the NBA went with replacement players it would kill the NBA.

I have no idea why yall keep repeating this point...they barely made it a couple games with replacement REFS much less players. Its a totally different climate than the 80's, with social media and the way TV/internet works now. Aint no one checking for replacement players in 2016

Have 53 players per team (NFL) compared to 13 players per team (NBA) brehs


Those soccer/football leagues are fukking up though. Combined they shyt on everything.

facts

why arent they makin more money if you got the world watching.

NFL is tops in the USA simply because of gambling

basketball too. its huge in china b/c of gambling.

 

[Heretic]

This is retarded...

NFL has Fewer games..More players on roster...

That's kinda negated by attendance dollars(ticket prices), revenue, and the tv deal.
