Greed of money is killing the love for professional sports
The greed of the professional sports athletes today is going to kill the game. It already cost a family of 4 on average upwards of $420 to attend an NFL game.
Players are not going to take less, they are going to take more. Kirk is an Average NFL QB making elite money.
A player like Aaron Rodgers who's contract is up in 2020, is drooling waiting on guys like Matt Stafford to sign. If Kirk and Matt Stafford are making around 30 million. Rodgers in 3 years contract will probably look like 35 to 40 million per season?
Food and Beer prices will then go up and in 3 years we could see the prices for a family of 4 go over $500 easily, but maybe $600..
None of this goes back to the Fans, it all goes to the Billionaire owners and Millionaire players (not too long will be Billionaire players)
Than Of course you have public funding for sports stadiums, but it cost you an arm and leg to buy and ticket, but you already own the stadium...
Its the TV money
YUP
TV money is enough to pay the players contacts, but its not enough for the Greedy owners. The more money the players make (which will keep going up) the more ticket prices,food and everything else will cost.

STOPU can't be made at the million dollar players ..they're getting a small fraction of what the billion dollar owners are taking in. Noones going to see the owners play
I agree, BUT!!!! with any investment the owners take all risk (Money wise) without the investment of the (owners) there would be no millions for the players to make.. But they all suck.
