Dont understand? They CHOSE a career in football, knew the risks. No average joe gets guaranteed money at their job. What happens if YOU get layed off today?
Plus, they went to college, right? Use your degree and make $80,000 at a desk all week and then realize that 5 million a year without guarantees, for 16 hours of football, is far better option.
This is ignorant on so many levels. Where to start?
The compensation is part of the deal, part of the reason they CHOSE to play football. What kind of idiot would sacrifice their body like that without significant compensation?
16 hours of football? Are you trolling?
