[QUOTE=NC_Skins;788664]No, players don't make hundreds of millions of dollars. For every Peyton Manning, there are 10 Brandon Banks making squat (in the grand scheme of things) compared to the lavish contracts you hear about. Also, you have one owner (who doesn't do shit) getting paid 100-400 million a year on profits alone. Again, it's the players who ARE the product, not the stadium. Until the owners sacrifice their body and health, then that money should be going to the players.

Then why are Manning, Brady and Brees the front runners for the lawsuit. The general public wont have sympathy for these guys, they make hundreds of millions of dollars.

I dont call making about 300,000 dollars a year making squat. The players play a game the puts there body in danger. If they dont want to get hurt then dont play this "GAME" for a living.
