But there is nothing that can be said here.
You are going to base it all off of Payton Manning's pay either way.
Not that what the players earn really has anything to do with it.
You overpay for the product, (The players) then want to complain that they are overpaid.
The league/owners set all prices. So, if you feel you are overpaying, then who is to blame?
Actually, it's you. Noone is forcing you to overpay. You are choosing to.
Complaining about the product, as well as the price, while continuing to buy is borderline lunacy, since it is a luxury product anyway. Noone needs this product.
But this whole ordeal is, in no way, about players trying to get more money.
The owners opted out of an agreement.
The owners are threatening a lockout.
But damn those evil players for it all, anyway.
