I'm not defending them it's just a bit of a duh. Rich people own nice things. The richest people in the world own insanely extravagant things. What of it?

Gee the labor scenario is boring as all hell. Let's talk about Obummer and the libtard commie Demoncraps because there isn't a forum for such aimless drivel already on this very site.

I just see the juxtaposition of those who criticize the players for being so rich when many of them don't make $1M in their whole NFL career.

Let's be honest. The owners are lying to you when they say the NFL is losing money.

What % of their wealth comes from football and what comes from other business ventures?

I know there are some NFL teams whose profits are in the 10 million dollar range. That's not a lot of money to play with when players salaries are in the millions.

Should they use their money from other business ventures to subsidize their NFL teams?

Link please? I've never heard of any NFL team that has only gained 10 million.

Funny thing is... We bitch and moan but if we were in owners shoes, we would do same exact thing they do. Those people made money cause they found a way, no need to get upset, its all business.

It been reported that some players make more than owners.

PS: You never will... 31 teams in NFL do not share their financial information.

Surprise! People find it frustrating/sickening to read about wealthy privileged old white men with hundred feet yachts while suffering through rough economic times. Apathy about it is what brought us to the some of the worst wealth equality the country has ever seen.

That's life. It only depends if you can accept that fact or not. You don't need college degree to be a billionaire. All you need is idea and plan. Those people made it cause they achieved both.

Ignore the fact that organized business has been able to successfully enact political policies, tax law enforcement, tax rate changes, labor law, and financial deregulation that has benefited the richest Americans for the past 30 years. Lets just chalk it up to the owners making money because they found a way. Good job them, go owners!

Paul Allen made the majority of his money from working at Microsoft, not running an NFL team.

Owning an NFL team is more like an exclusive hobby for NFL owners. The bulk of their money comes from other business ventures.

The Packers' net profit was 9 million in 2009-2010. I'm sure it will be higher this season with the super bowl victory.
