Pretty sad how little NFL players work<br><br>To your possible counter argument, I would argue that a film probably shouldn't gross 200 million dollars. But it does because people are willing to pay $10 / movie ticket. As long as people are willing to spend that much, entertainers will continue to make too much money. My whole point is, society shouldn't allocate so much money to entertainment. People shouldn't be willing to spend $10/ movie ticket, or $100 / nfl ticket, or $200 / nfl jersey, or $8 / hotdog, or $8 / beer. If people weren't willing to spend that much, stuff wouldn't cost that much, because NFL players would still be playing this game for 10% the money, and owners would still be willing to start football teams for much less profits.<br><br>Although I enjoy watching the NFL, I won't contribute to these player's ridiculous incomes. I have never, and will never buy NFL tickets, NFL parking, or NFL concessions. Once several years ago I bought a Bills t-shirt off the clearance rack at Dick's for like $8.95 (which represented a decent value to me). Unfortunately it is kind of hard to stop patronizing all the businesses that support the NFL with advertising, but that is something people should stop doing too. Advertising is like a tax on everyone, anybody who buys just about any product is supporting the million dollar salaries that entertainers enjoy. It is one of the most abhorrent transfers of wealth from the bottom to the top that can be imagined. You could never have ever in your life wanted to watch an NFL football game, but a portion of what you paid for beer, or a car, or potato chips, or any other product goes into the pockets of the entertainer.<br><br>To your possible counter argument, I would argue that a film probably shouldn't gross 200 million dollars.

The ONLY difference between a garbage man and an NFL player is the ridiculous salary????? Are you kidding me. You could round up 30 homeless guys and they could do the job of a garbage man,http://www.wjqy.org/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=717, how many of those homeless guys could start a game at QB in the NFL?<br><br>This thread is basically what many have already called it. A poorly executed troll job. The issue here isn't salary, it is how much work an NFL player does or does not do. Yet, everyone gets hung up on the salary, because their ****ty job doesn't pay what an NFL job does for the same amount of work. So, people come to the faulty conclusion that they don't work hard.<br><br>If you read my post you would see I covered this already. The foundation of those TV contracts is the advertising revenue that stations get from them. Simply watching the NFL on TV has absolutely no impact on TV revenue unless the viewer has a Nielsen box (which I don't have), otherwise the viewer is invisible. The only way I can impact NFL revenue is by supporting advertisers that advertise with NFL broadcasting stations. This, I will admit, is hard to avoid, as so many major consumer companies advertise with the NFL. This just kind of illustrates the ridiculousness of advertising, that is, paying the premium built in to product prices to have stuff sold to you. Most products that I buy from companies that support the NFL are products that I would have bought anyway without the advertising. Of course that advertising money ultimately ends up in the pockets of broadcasters,http://haitao78.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=499187&fromuid=24978, and then down the line NFL players and NFL owners. If I tried really hard I'm sure I could avoid buying products from NFL advertisers, but ya, I don't believe in my point that much to go to that length. I guess you could say I am part of the masses that are guilty of overpaying for goods that help keep these broadcasters, players, and owners wealthy. It is in that respect that advertising is like a tax on everyone; a person could have never watched an NFL game, but if they buy a 6 pack of Bud Light (or almost any consumer product), they are subsidizing the overpaid broadcasters, players, and owners.<br><br>I think it is Rush Limbaugh that once said something along the lines of, "the really wealthy NFL players understand that they are nothing more than very well paid beer salesmen."<br><br>I would argue that it is a combination of things. Yes, the hits that an NFL player takes certainly plays a part, but football is a game wear speed and athleticism is important, and regardless of profession or hits taken, most people will start seeing a decline in their own speed and athleticism after they hit 30 years old. Another significant aspect I feel you are missing is that an NFL player likely doesn't really need to work much past 30, because that NFL player has likely accumulated 20+ times the earnings in an 8-10 year career that a garbage man will in a 40 + year career. Gunnar Brolinson, who said he didn't realize players were absorbing so many serious hits, especially since only about five came off the sidelines this season with concussions.<br><br>"There are probably factors that we don't fully understand that make players better able to withstand higher accelerations (football hits) than other people," he said.<br><br>It's possible that some players can withstand stronger blows because they have stronger neck and shoulder muscles or that they're simply more robust genetically than others, Brolinson said.<br><br>The researchers recorded 3,http://www.fangxinduchang.com/a/chanpinzhishi/5.html,312 hits during 35 practices and 10 games this season, rotating eight specially fitted helmets among 38 players.
