I've read that before you took the PA job that you were a Redskins fan. Is that still the case considering you represent all players?

Well, my parents may be watching this, so I better tell them that burgundy and gold is still the color of choice in the Smith household

DeMaurice Smith:
It depends on how you define soon: I'm still waiting for any financial document showing that a teams didn't average the $31M in profit per year according the Forbes. It is tough to explain to a Player why they need to give back $1B next year without any justification

What reason does the league give for not providing financial data as it relates to each club?

DeMaurice Smith:
Honestly...
That it isn't any of our business. That they have neve done it before/ or that "even if they did give it to us, it wouldn't matter".
