1) it is dangerous. Look at the CTE studies. Plus a ton of those guys need joint replacements later on.
2) some guys don’t make all that much. Most people only play a few years. It’s not like they are all getting 20 million a year.
3) I do realize they are choosing this (some of them over other pro sports), so it is their choice.

1. They argued for higher salaries and benefits because it’s Dangerous (very rarely deadly, probably more statistically life threatening to drive a car than play football in the NFL) They know the risks of CTE and play because of the Risk/reward ratio.
2. The league minimum is over $700k. I don’t know what you consider “all that much” but that’s more than most families in the US will make in 12 years. Please hold my crying towel for people in the TOP 1% of income earners in the United States.
3. This point makes all of your other arguments moot.
