The AFL started out with nothing, so what happened? How has the CFL stayed in business all these years?
Dude, the NFL could shut down today, kick out the union and start hiring new players at half of what they are currently paying. The 2022 the first season of the new NFL, watch what happens. If the current players want to play in the non union NFL ok cool.
Chiefs owner....only paying 20 mill for a QB Patrick
So what are his options, well?
you are so utterly confused...yes they started with nothing...in the 60s...that's
60 years ago and you still want everything to be the same as it was 60 years ago...times change. rules change. business environment change. is that so hard to understand that the market and business environment today is different than 60 years ago and your comparison of an NFL player to a cashier at walmart is uttely stupid!
....what happened? AFL grew and merged and its the big NFL business that it is today. 60 years later...they make over 8B in annual revenue from TV deals alone. and its about to go to 12-14-16B per year range..this is not the NFL that you are used to when you were 30 or 40 years old.
and yes, the NFL could shut down today and kick the union out and hire new players. absolutely could. in case you were in a coma, it actually did happen. the CBA ended. players went on strike. NFL hired replacement players. it was easy. the product on the field
SUCKED...so nobody was watching. they weren't making the same revenue....what you miss so badly, you think an olive picker and cashier at walmart are equivalent to an NFL player...a cashier, olive picker is easy to replace. no special skills.....a VP, CFO and CEO aren't easily replced....they have special skills, so they get paid more....a janitor in the cowboys stadium is easily replaced...
so ...its about making money, what makes me the most money. what keeps the most eyes on TV, so I get the bigger TV deal. so I increase my profit. what brings the most fans to the stadium. what keeps me most relevant...is it Mahomes. or Joe Schmoe who couldn't make it as a PS player in the NFL....you know XFL tried and failed. they failed several times...the replacement players after players union was an utter failure and it failed misreably. that's why the owners renegotiated and brought the players back....
you really don't understand business do you? you are so utterly lost and the concept I speak of are so above your head, your head is spinning and can't understand the most basic part of it.
sorry. I can't help you...
