What doesn't make sense is thinking Walmart/Target/McDonalds/Dodge/Burger King etc employees care about how much the company makes, what difference does it make they make a wage.
The NFL could pay these guys half of what they do now, ya don't like it do something else.
Less than 1% of college football players make it to the NFL these guys need to thank God they made it and cool worrying about $$$$$$. All of them making far more than dad ever made.
You completely ignore the fact that the players are in Union.
and yes the players are the absolute best in the world. Which is why their value is so high. This has nothing to do with target or wal mart. You’re talking about low skilled wages vs wages for rare people who can do things that very few other people can do.
If the Owners wanted to remove guarantees and Lower salaries, The Union strikes. Good luck to the owners trying to make as much money, using scab players who suck and aren’t fun to watch play.
So again, the point of the thread. Why would the players Union agree to LESS guaranteed money and pay, all the while the leagues profits are going up?
The CBA literally outlines what % of revenue goes to the players. Why would the players want less? The players Union does care about how much the NFL makes. When the players, by contract are guaranteed a certain % of revenue. Unlike Walmart/target etc. which is why your example doesn’t fit.
Why would players want less guarantees when they play a violent game where they could be injured and lose their career at any time?
that’s why the OP’s idea wouldn’t work.
