    I agree that it's difficult to feel sorry for someone who makes more in one football season then most will in one lifetime.

    The average football player works harder in a year than the average owner does in a lifetime. And you feel sorry for the owners for what reason, exactly? They make a hell of a lot more than the players do.

    And the reason football players make what they do is because 99.999% of people can't do what they do. Most people aren't big enough, athletic enough, or aren't willing to put in the same amount of work.

    The Players and Owners will sit down and reach an agreement. It will be a little give and take on both sides.
    The only losers will be the fans. Ticket prices will go up, the cost of food and beverages as well as merchandise will also rise.
    IMO we will never see the Sea of Red in Arrowhead again. A family of four just can't afford to attend on a regular basis any more. There will always be seats for the opponents fans.
    The Owners and Players don't seem to remember, the fans are the ones who made the NFL Americas favorite sport and they will price us right out of the stadium.

    They all make too much money. From top to bottom. But for arguments sake, the players are not forking over any of their own cash to run the team. Where I work, every employee makes the same amount of money (depending on seniority) but we all work on the same pay scale. At the end of the day, how much my employer makes is none of my business. But in the end, they hose the fans. All cause a bunch of millionaires wanna fight over my $100 per game ticket.

    I'm certain he was not implying that he was in favor of the owners making billions.

    Except for this uncapped year, players (as a whole) got paid a percentage of the overall revenues (that's how the salary cap was set). Which means that any price raises were completely unconnected to them. Players don't set the ticket, concession, or parking prices. They aren't causing prices to rise.

    And owners don't care about people who go to 1-2 games a year because that isn't how they make most of their money. They don't care if you're priced out of the stadium. They make most of their money from revenue sharing (television contracts mainly) and season tickets. That isn't going to change, new CBA or not.

    Football revenues are what they are. The major question of this CBA is how those dollars will be divided. Guess what? No how much of the pie is allocated to the players, it won't affect the prices paid by fans.
