The average NFL salary 50 years ago was $23,000.
The average NFL salary in 2021 is $860,000.
Do you think that may have something to do with it? Life changing money vs. one year of college tuition can maybe change a players outlook on a situation.
in 1970, the first round draft picks salaries averaged $45,000 with a bonus of $80,000.
In 2021, The 15th pick got a $15 million dollar contract with an $8 million dollar bonus.

So tired if seeing this argument. This is dumb and childish and you are showing your immaturity.
$23,000 50 years ago is $860,000 in 2021. Its the same. Milk was .10c a gallon. Now its $3.50. its all relative. Sorry for those who cant understand basic economics and inflation

You forgot this bit of info.
The median money income of families in the United States in 1970 was $9,870. So 45K +80K bonus was a lot of cash at that time.
