Quote:This article seemed like it was trying to point out some kind of injustice to NFL players.


They completely ignore that no other sport compares to football with the amount of players on the roster. They talk about how NBA salaries are much bigger. Well ya, they only have to pay five starters and they play about 70 more games.


If you look at the total salaries, the NFL is right there with all other sports even though the total salary is capped.

 

Solid point. Spot on. From a physically demaning stand point though, it's the most taxing sport, especially when it comes to concussions. That's not to say that a 100+ fastball straight to the grill or body in general, or, going up 8ft in the air and coming down awkwardly isn't taxing as well, but, as far as overall salary and risk of injury, the NFL or football in general is at the bottom of the totem pole. With the exception of Rugby Players, God Bless those guys. THAT's a tough sport. And the pay in those leauges is a joke compared to the rest of the world.
