Sure, the players are paid a lot of money–well, a few of them are (most of them aren’t in terms to the toll the game takes on them when the average career is less than four years).
It is difficult to support the owners, who are all have-cake-eat-too.
When the owners asked taxpayers around the country for hundreds of millions of dollars for new stadiums, some of you objected, and some owners had to pick up some of the cost. That has left them nearly broke and able to pay the average quarterback only $10 million a season.
At least we think they’re nearly broke. The owners refused to show their finances to the players, just as they refused to share them with taxpayers. They are, after all, private businesses. Except when they aren’t, like when they demand tax subsidies disguised as “public-private partnerships.”
