They took a risk after smartly inheriting, investing, or making their money, granted the risk is small. The players have dreamed of making to the league and they get a paltry $450K for being good enough!

Tell me one college grad that wouldn't take a guaranteed one year salary of $450 out of college!

That $450K would last the average college graduate 9 years. My boss makes a frack ton but he put in the work for it for MANY years, both the owners and players arguing over money is stupid, but it's business. I choose not to care about Pro sports anymore so they can do as they please.

Since you believe there is little to no financial risk, then why don't you or the players start your own league?
