If it were a perfect world then to watch a game would be extremely cheap, and football would be a part time job to players. More players would play for the love of the game and owners would be happy just to own a team. But it is not a perfect world. Fans demand a winning team, and will pay alot of money to see it. Owners are greedy and want to capitalize, and players are the workhands that want a piece of the profit for their labor.

In closing, bitch about it all you like, but its our fault that the situation is the way it is.
That's kinda the point I was trying to make. When I get upset with an organization they stop getting my money. That's why athletes get paid so much. It's the jersey sales, The team decals, The team blankets, the throwbacks, etc. All of that. Anything with an NFL Logo on it contributes to the money players get paid. You're right it is the fan's fault and that's why I'm not mad.
