No offense or judgement meant to anyone if that’s your thing (to each their own). That’s just how I see pretty much all professional sports - the super bowl is just the poster child for it.

    Average doesn’t work so great here with those QBs at the top making $50m a year, bud

      Surprisingly one of the quarterbacks playing tonight had a salary under a million. Though I expect that won’t be the case for him next season after making it to the Super Bowl.

      The point is that for the amount of money being generated off of them playing a sport that harms their body they aren’t being paid properly.

      It’s a pretty solid comparison to the worker who gives their time and youth to be paid but typically rarely see a fraction of what they generate.

      NFL players make more money usually, but the comparison is apt.
