NBA players are paid significantly more than NFL players? Within the NFL u are more at risk for long term injuries so why are NBA players paid more?

NFL Union is also the WOAT


yes the NBA has smaller rosters, but NBA teams are also worth significantly less the NFL teams

This is kind of simplistic, I'm sure their other factors that go into but.. if you just go by the reported CBA and revenue.

NFL players receive 48% of the revenue

NBA players receive 50% of the revenue

2014 NFL revenue 11.2 billion
2014 NBA revenue 4.8

NFL Players get 5.6
NBA Players get 2.4

NFL 32 x 53 = 1696
NBA 15 x 30 = 450

5.6B/1696 = 3,301,886

2.4B/450 = 5,333,333
