[QUOTE="SpartaChris, post: 301640, member: 1007"] So do firefighters and police officers, and they don't get 50% of the state revenue. Sorry but this "The players put their bodies on the line" argument is weak with me. They do so willingly, knowing full well what the stakes are. And they are compensated quite well for it. Even the bottom of the end guys on the active roster made $350k last year, for limited action. I'm not opposed to people making as much money as they can, especially through endorsements and jersey sales, but that goes for both sides as well. Owners are entitled to see a decent profit off their investment, and at the moment the feeling is it's not enough. Just a few years ago, Green Bay had a profit of $34 Million. Now it's $9. Player salaries have increased exponentially in that time. Simple math, the system in it's current form doesn't work. [/QUOTE]
