Why?

It's the bullshyt that is the NFL. I call it as I see it. They make enormous amounts of money treating their players like gladiators to be used and abused and then tossed out.


cuz its 53 players on a team... its comparing apples to oranges salary wise.

If you need more laborers then you need to devote more money to labor. Football players have shorter career windows and put a lot more of their life of the line, the fact that the owner needs more of them to make the team go means they should get a bigger slice of the pie, not that he can just pay them all less.

The whole way that football salaries (or any other American sports league) work is a total scam. Can you imagine if all the tech companies got together and agreed to limit how much they paid their employees? It's an illegitimate monopoly - they should force teams to act as independent businesses and compete for players, and salaries would skyrocket.
