This keeps coming up. The NFL has a 53 man roster, the NBA has what a 15 man roster? I think NFL players (at the lower tiers) are underpaid and I think they all c00ned out on their last 2 revenue sharing negotiations (give up about 5% for less practice time :dahell:), but you can't compare to other leagues.

Doesnt matter the ROI on Football is still trash simply from a health aspect.

A lot of cats like Cam Newton were two sport stars but were simply such athletic freaks that football was the no brainer.

I do find it interesting that there has not been a rise in cats playing Baseball especially since we are at the age of a lot of 2nd gen athletes coming into the game who have their pops who were athletes to guide them.

You guys need some perspective...

Football has created more black millionaires than any other sport -- remember, there are 72 jobs available for players on every team (53 man game-day roster plus practice squad), then there are dozens of jobs available for coaches & coordinators & trainers.

I keep hearing how great the NBA is for players, but there are only 15 jobs available on each team...again, the NFL has 72 jobs open per team.

If you don't make the NFL, you can go coach D1, D2, or D3 football...or head over to the CFL or Arena leagues...again, an abundance of jobs.

I know it's en-vouge to hate the NFL right now, but no other league has uplifted more black folks out of poverty. The 'Rooney Rule' was created by the NFL, meanwhile the NBA banned brothas from wearing urban clothing to the arena while at the same time allowing Donald Sterling to shyt on black people for 30 years.

But the NBA is great for blacks, right? Not when compared to the NFL...

There's a reason that football is king in this country, and black people should be the last ones trying to tear the sport down.

You need to watch the documentary "Broke" football has left more of them dudes destitute than any other sport too, and they have BY FAR the weakest players association.

It's easiest to make it to the NFL, so players are more expendable. With basketball now being a global sport, it will be much harder to make it to the NBA which was already extremely difficult, see Hoop Dreams. They atleast have options outside the US.

Baseball is damn near impossible to make it in. Most 1st rounders don't even have successful careers in the majors.
