not a fair comparison given no one will pay $300.00 to watch those types do their job
Is the concept really that difficult?
It's not fair that a guy that has purchased $100 per week of lottery tickets that his neighbor wins the lottery after purchasing 1 ticket ever.
It"s not fair that Garrett was "gifted" the job while similar coaches never get a chance at an NFL HC job.
Obviously we all understand free market economics in the USA.
In reality true unregulated free market economics would NOT result in the mega-contracts. The government artificially props up players by forcing anti-monopoly policies onto sports leagues.
If the NFL had structured itself as 1 company with each owner a 1/32nd shareholder, they could have set salaries at whatever they they wanted. The only option for players would be a start-up rival league. The NFL would have to pay enough to keep other leagues from successfully taking NFL players.
The NFL should avoid blocking a rival league like the upcoming XFL.
Then the NFL could reorganize into 1 company with shareholders without being a monopoly if there was a rival league. As a single company the NFL could set salaries across the board. Players would have the option to go to the XFL if they didn't like it.
Starter type players would still get paid more than average Americans but it would be far below today's NFL salaries.
On the flip side US policy allows US jobs to be outsourced to countries where the employers don't have to pay US income tax. US companies have shell companies in other countries that hire cheap labor and don't pay any US tax. The US company can then "hire" that company and it's labor force cheaply because that company and workers are not burdened by US taxes. The money paid by the US company is deducted from the US company's income and therefore no tax is paid on it from that perspective either.
