Had an interesting but random conversation with someone last night at the Mexico vs Bosnia soccer game about pro player salaries. I hadn't given much thought to it, but this person was adamant that of all the leagues, the NFL players have the weakest union and are the least paid despite the fact they are employed in the most successful, most popular, most rev generating league.
Seems to be true, but it got me to thinking as to the WHY?
I'm sure the shear # of players (average 60 per roster) has something to do with it compared to an NBA roster of 15 players, but seems like NBA average salaries are much higher than NFL average salaries.
Thoughts?
