Because the players are grossly overpaid. Player salaries have gone up by a ridiculous amount over the last 25 years. Not one player who gets a second contract will ever have to work a day in his life post football - and neither will his kids.
Quit acting like these guys are some poor working class schlubs. They're rich men. Even if they get cut they're doing better than 99% of the population when it comes to money.
1. The owners are even richer men. So siding with either one over the other is stupid.
2. NFL players are not overpaid. They are getting paid relative to the amount of money that their ability to play football, allows the teams to earn. Their amazing football skills, generates billions of dollars in revenue because people like to watch them play the game and are willing to spend money on tickets, concessions, jerseys, memorabilia, and millions of people across the country dedicate their Sunday’s in the fall, to watching them play on TV.
Playing high level football has high monetary value. That’s capitalism. Saying they are overpaid is nonsense.
