Message: [QUOTE="LeMoyneCuse, post: 3263213, member: 158"] I'm not missing the point at all. I simply disagree with you 1,000% that players are paid too much. You talk about owners assuming risk, but there's no cash cow like owning an established American sports team. You just have to be rich enough to buy in. The NFL isn't some start up. Pro sports leagues are the blue chippest of the blue chips. My feelings about pro athletes and college athletes are the same. At its core, the value of sports is created by the players, not the people who facilitate. And the people who create the value are the ones who should be compensated the most. And where is this argument about public servants coming in? I think public school teachers should be paid twice as much as they currently are, but that's not at all within the scope of this thread.
