Millionaires vs Millionaires. Stupid, really.

I'm jumping on the Owners side of this.

1- I don't tell the board of directors of my company about how they should spend their money or how much revenue they have to share.

2- Players want guaranteed contracts. Jamarcus Russell and Albert Hainesworth had huge bonus and (Russell walked away with 39 million dollars for sucking. Hainesworth got 16 million, 9 million guaranteed). And people wonder why people are paying $7 for a beer at the game.

Fire them all. If the players don't think the salary and benefits that go along with the NFL, have them take their edjewkshun (with all that studying and degrees, they should make a load of money as doctors and lawyers).

In April, draft the 2011 college players with a slotted salary schedule. Yeah, the quality of the game may not be great for a few years, but these over-paid jackasses would have a cold cup of stfu.

Fire away!

^I have to agree. They need a rookie salary cap.

I agree,,

Agreed.

No argument here.

I concur. I mean, God bless football, but why should someone make 20 million to play football?

Finally you guys understand why I think the NFL has went to **** in a hand basket.

Ditto for MLB and NBA...............

No one will watch this year!

Salary cap???

SOCIALISTS!!!!

It was Bush's fault and now it's Obama's

Gotta agree...but the same could be said for just about any of the leagues (NBA, MLB, etc)...they have lost all contact with reality when the players think they deserve more then just a millionaire salary...

#6 Professional sports is entertainment. They get paid that much because that's what the market will bear.

I began to lose interest as a fan after the Curt Flood decision when the nomadic whores, er, hordes because to play a game of chicken (ie, screw/ignore the fan) with the greedy owners.

^ "began" for because

12. but that's the reason for the ot. the market no longer wants to bear that kind of money for the players. i say just cut everyones salary by over a half. might see 5% of players actually leave the league, and i'd guess those to be the ones with 8+ years in the league.

^ You haven't done a lot of collective bargaining have you?

haha not in this lifetime

...give 'em 50k salaries per year & cheap medical, all the sleazy endorsement deals they want, and offseason jobs at Sears.

The owners? Hmmm, start off with tax incentives & writeoffs for treating fans like human beings with cheap ticket prices, concessions, & free parking.

then who owuld buy the $100,000 cars and $3 million dollar homes..?? or would you prefer govment housing for all..??

It would be a blip & market would adapt to demand.

Besides, I don't know too many people who have either of those. They can take public transport & buy a shoe box with their bling.
