[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 910226, member: 7261"] This is the big hidden and inflationary one for me. I understand that fans who purchase game tickets, buy jerseys or anything else that directly supports a team is knowingly and willingly contributing to the money in the pot. However, the "hidden" and "indirect" fees are mainly in that of the broadcast contracts and advertising. Which not surprisingly makes up the largest portion of revenues. The average consumer, who may or may not watch NFL football, is paying for it in either their cable bills and/or through products that they purchase. You might say "ah ha! I don't have cable and I will never buy Miller Light, because they advertise on TV." Well, think again. So that is good, you don't directly contribute by paying a cable bill, but maybe you watch local FOX, NBC, CBS or ABC? Don't these companies pay big dollars into the NFL? How do you think they justify it? Advertising revenues. You not watching a game on Sunday, but watching 3 hrs of "The Masked Singer", might not feel like you are supporting the NFL, but you are supporting a Network that pays big money to the NFL. Even if you don't buy products advertised on TV, there is an inflationary trickle down effect of Miller Light charging an extra $1 per case to cover their advertising bills. "Poker's Double Ale" might not buy advertising space, but they are competing against some of the giants that are. So when Miller raises their prices, what do you think Poker is going to do? So no, the billions of dollars that the owners make and the millions of dollars that players make isn't strictly coming out of the pockets of NFL fans, its coming out of almost everyone's pockets.
