[QUOTE]It's not as if the owners are eating all the cost here. A majority of the players in the league aren't millionaires. They lead middle-class to upper middle class lives. They still have to pay bills, pay for child care, and in some cases, have to pay for extended family as well. They're not exactly poor, but when you factor in all their cost, they're not the ballers that the guys who get the endorsement deals and the top tier athletes are.

Be honest, there is nothing "middle class" about their lives. Even the lowliest of checks is a whopping $400,000 plus. That is not middle class.
