More likely it is that football has far fewer games per season. If you went to half of a team's games that would be 8 games. That's only 5% of a baseball team's season. You could go to ALL of an NFL team's games, and it's still only 10% of a MLB team's season. So somebody might say gee, they went to ALL of the Buccanears games, but they only went to 10% of the Rays games (same # of games).
Also, "same" greed ? Don't check facts before you post I see. Not the same at all. Top NFL salary is Jay Cutler (Chicago bears QB) at $17 million. That's hardly more than HALF of the MLB top of Alex Rodriguez (NY Yankees) at $29 Million, and much less than MLB runnerups Zack Greinke and Cliff Lee. In fact, TWO DOZEN players in ML have higher salaries than the # 1 guy in the NFL. But don't feel bad Winter, it's the thought that counts.

It is the same greed. I didn't say they paid them the same or as much. But your moaning and bitching all along has been about free agency, the owners doing things to make profits, ect ect. The NFL fits that same description.
Not quantitatively they don't, but I'm not crazy about the way the NFL is carrying on either. Or the NBA. Only reason I'm so up in arms at MLB, that was brought on by the Price fiasco. Feel better now ?
It's funny, when I quote dollar amounts you scream about it being the greedy, money-changer mentality ect ect, and that it doesn't matter. But when it suits you, the dollar amounts matter.
Yes, I have known all along that you are pissed because they traded your hero. I don't care of you have some sort of fantasy bromance with Price, your ideas for a gov't takeover of MLB and putting the salary cap at $300k is ridiculous.
