AZ Cardinas owner Bill Bidwill purportedly said that, thanks to the NFL TV contract, he didn’t need to sell any tickets to make a profit. That was a few years ago, so I wonder, considering the skyrocketing contracts being handed out nowadays, if it’s still true today.
And don’t forget commercial time on TV, driving up the cost of products to consumers, keeping wages low so companies can afford air time for commercials during games.

To paraphrase an old saying, if you do not like it simply do not go to the game. Watch it on TV.

Shame on those incredibly talented people who risk their long-term health to make the NFL wealthy. How dare they ask for a cut of the profits!!
