Isn't the minimum annual salary something like 3/4 million ? Make it every year you can without interruption until you are too old. Period.

This is so preposterously wrong-headed (and wrong) that it is surprising to read even if it is coming from you.

The owners are billionaires. Even the shittiest franchise makes TONS of money. (See: Houston Texans) Some of the players are indeed very wealthy by ordinary standards but for every Peyton Manning there are dozens of Vonta Leaches. These guys are going to play a few years in the league, suffer several concussions, f%ck up their back, blow out their knees and at the age of 40 will be hobbling around like a 90 year old. For what? For $400k a year? And you want to side with airheaded blowhard billionaires like Bob McNair in saying that these guys make too much money? Are you insane?
