So you think that just because NFL players are in better physical shape they should get paid more??? You clearly don't know to much about sport my dear friend, how much you get paid has something to do with how much sponsors, fans, tv-airtime etc the game gets

1st of all. Your putting words in my mouth. And I know PLENTY about sports. So lets not jump to conclusions. I think football players should be payed more because they work a hell of alot harder. Thats just my opinion, the reason they dont get payed as much as baseball/basketball players is because the NFL doesent invest as much of its assets on player saleries as Major League baseball. All I said was they deserve more than baseball players.

Ok who doesent know about sports ? Sorry but sponsorship doesent have an effect on a players salery. Unless of course your talking Nascar. As for baseball/football, sponsorships are completely seperate from there actual saleries. And having alot of fan support in your city does have some effect in the negotiation process, for the simple reason that they want to keep fans happy and having fan support may allow you some leway in nagotiation. But in the long run its not all THAT important. And if your saying air time depicts players saleries in a sport then Soccor and american pro football players should be the highest payed atheletes in the world. BOTH sports obtain much higher ratings than baseball on average.
