They get that kind of money because patrons are willing to pony up over $100 per ticket for the football games. Pro football is no longer a Sunday afternoon you can take your two kids and wife to. It would be costing at least $700 for the afternoon.
How does anyone else feel that a salary cap of no more than the President earns ($400,000) be placed on a sports figures salary? The sports figure would have to be a voting resident of that community for at least 2 years before being eligible for that team; and the sports team would have the same ethnic makeup as the surrounding community.
