Players in the top leagues in sport are paid obscene amounts but as long as the NFL keeps generating the money it does the players are going to get their ever increasing sizeable cut.

It seems to be much more accepted in American sports if a player signs for a team purely on the money he is going to be paid, we in England hate it and a player gets ridiculed if he goes somewhere where it is blatantly for the money and nothing else.

I greatly enjoy a wide variety of sports with football, baseball and American football being the main three, the top premier league footballers make more in one week that the average person makes in 5 years, we know this is the case but we still watch anyway. Of course they should get a very good wage but the money they are paid now is ridiculous and obscene. I’m using the premier league as an example again, they have just signed a £5.16 Billion ($7.87 Billion) TV deal with sky sports, I can guarantee the fans will see no benefit from this. The clubs will make more, sky tv subscription prices will sky rocket, the player’s wages will increase but the fans will be charged ever increasing ticket prices.
