N/S While Owner Cried Hardship, Carolina Panthers Had $112 Million Profit Over Two Years

I definitely agree, but, everyone in the NFL is greedy. It's one of the most lucrative brands in the world and everyone from owners, to management, to coaches, and players wants a piece. I mean look at what happened with rookie contracts before the CBA, and now players are being paid ridiculous amounts of money. I'm not saying it's a bad ting, just the way it is.

The reason I agree is because players have more of a right to be greedy, especially considering this document. For one, owners have the ability to profit for a much longer amount of time. While a player maxes out football profit at about 15 years, ownership can go on for decades, or even generations. And, the owners will, for now, as long as the NFL holds it's popularity, make more than any given player.

Or the average player's career is 3-4 years, and if they are lucky, they get to play 10+ years. At the conclusion of said career, they are more than likely to be in less than ideal physical condition.

I do understand that the players understand the inherent risks of football and they are compensated accordingly. However, there is something morally wrong when the owners make the real money without so much as putting on a cleat- all while claiming that they deserve a bigger percentage of revenue AND the public to finance their billion dollar stadiums.
