America’s most popular sport is embroiled in a fight between rich athletes who want a bigger portion of a diamond-laced pie that even wealthier owners are unwilling to part with. Our favorite game has reached a critical impasse and the water is about to boil over.
Which brings us to an interesting question: How much longer would this argument last if there was no money left to fight over?
The lifeblood of American sports is, has and always will be the fans. You’re the ones who pay ridiculous ticket prices to watch these teams play. You’re the ones who purchase jerseys, hats and God knows what else in an effort to truly represent your team’s colors. You’re the ones who watch this game every week, which affords networks like FOX the sickening ability to sell 30-second Super Bowl advertisements for $3 million a pop. The most passionate of you purchase the “Sunday Ticket” and “Red Zone Channel” in an effort to enjoy a sensory overload of smash mouth football each and every Sunday.
So how come you have no say in the matter?
