"Boo Hoo. These guys make millions of dollars a year. I'd like to think they can afford a couple more pairs of pants and a few tickets from their salaries."

The NFL average salary is $2m/yr and the average career is 3 years. Keep in mind that for many players that must last a lifetime...and most go bankrupt within a few years of retirement.
Well, so much for that argument.....
