There is one inescapable variable that is often ignored in these comparisons to the average person. Like when a player says, would you take a pay cut? Ask me again when I'm making 20 million a year, not 50k.The real funny thing is that every poster here is the same way with their salary, investments, and gambling, if they do it, but want players to somehow be generous to teams whose job it is to watch the cap. Then they get mad at the players for what the owners offer the players as salary. Like any of them would invest in a stock that goes up and say, "No, no, only give me part of the proceeds and reinvest what I leave you to insure the company's survival." It's hypocrisy and hilarity at the same time.
Most regular people maximize their profits for survival. When you're already sitting on 100 million dollars it's basically pride or greed. Mostly pride.
