Secondly, I have no idea what their Net Profit would be because I don't have access to their entire revenue stream nor expenses. I'd wager to guess they have plenty left over after paying their employees and insurance.
Lastly, I do not believe, at this point in time, that the players should have a higher percentage of Gross Revenues, even though those gross revenues are not shared with anyone outside of the NFL. I think a 51/49 split, Owners to Players or 50/50 would certainly be agreeable.
52/48, when the financials are closed to everyone outside of each organization, is bunk, IMNSHO.
I think, before looking, that the league gets ticket sales. The individual owner gets the concessions etc [Reply]

Actually it is like taxation, for us. We keep spending money we don't have and they get richer.

The IRS makes you pay taxes. You fucking idiot. You won't go to jail if you don't go to the game, but you sure will if you don't pay your taxes. [Reply]

Yeah. Players be bad at math.

The players were locked out in 2011 and what did the players really get?

Eric Winston, the current NFLPA President is now retired, so as of March, he's no longer eligible to represent the players. It's probably a wise move on their part to elect a new NFLPA President, then elect a new head of the Player's Union, with the ultimate goal of getting a higher percentage of revenues, better post-NFL heathcare, a 16 game season and no THC testing.
Otherwise, they're screwing themselves.
Yeah Smith is a major problem in my opinion.
Every interview I’ve heard with him for 3 years has been him screaming about how bad the owners are. I couldn’t believe that was the position they were beginning negotiations from. It was ridiculous.
Pure speculation here, but here’s what I think. He’s a labor douche not a football guy. They brought him in, when it’s always been football guys before specifically to bargain with the owners better. Cool.
So he gets straight woodshedded by the owners. That was as garbage of a deal as has been negotiated professionally since the time of Rockefeller. I’d have quit and found another profession. So he thinks now he’s got to make it all up in one deal. So he’s been playing hardball since the last deal was signed.
His blockheaded approach is only going to lose his constituents money. [Reply]

I'm talking about the actual letter of the law . There is nothing that indicates a need to pay.
The irs is a pretend hall monitor and people just obey. [Reply]
