CommonCents Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Someone start a GO FUND ME account for Sammy, just put a stipulation on it that he only receives the money if he plays all 16 games. If he misses a game the money gets donated on behalf of the NBA to a charity of their choice. Hey Sammy Kelly Olynyk is making 12 million per.

Some people are holding a 24 year old football player, who didn't really say anything that controversial, to a higher standard than people in much more important jobs. It's kinda crazy.

8-8 Forever? Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) This may be the topic that I feel strongest about that we discuss and for the life of me can't understand the other side. The people generating the revue in every company are the highest paid. It is no different here it's just the numbers are so large we can't wrap our heads around them. Honest question though, do people really believe that the players should be paid less than 48.5% of the money that the NFL makes?!? If you removed all of the players how much money would the league make? Now we can all squabble about which players deserve which percentage but the argument that players make too much money is beyond asinine. It's totally uninformed. The league wouldn't make $12.5B (or whatever it is) a year without players!! NBA players are getting 51% of the league revenues while I think football is 48.5% if I remember correctly so there's some room there. If football players got another 2.5% it's about $10M per team, per year. yep, NBA rosters are smaller, so each player gets more individually. pretty simple concept guys. NBA has done a good job of building interest in the league and therefore revenue over the past 20 years. a superstar in NBA or MLB will naturally make huge comp. relative to NFL. NBA revs are less than NFL, but the rosters and organization sizes are a quarter or less of that of an NFL roster.
