Isn’t Manning’s net worth around $115 million? Not THAT far off from Rooney.

———————————–

Percentage-wise maybe….

But I’d say the $1,300 you have in your bank account is kind of a long way from $35,000,000.

I don’t think the average person can even perceive the difference between $1,000,000 and $1,000,000,000. Once you are into the millions, you are just talking gibberish to most people.

Yesterday I dug $7.25 in change from under the seats of my car to buy a f in hoagie. So it is safe to say, as an NFL season ticket holder, this article is not making me feel much better about the labor dispute!!!

My guess would be if you have to dig through your car seats to get enough money to buy a sandwich then you shouldn’t be spending money on NFL season tickets. I’m not a financial advisor or a CPA but I would guess that the money spent on football tickets should be shifted over to your food budget.

NFL players are part of a unique partnership–the same kind that exists between authors and publishers, actors and film producers. They are the product. The owners have no business without them. They can’t be replaced by a cattle-call job fair. That’s why they’re entitled to a larger share of the profits. And they are not asking or demanding to earn more than the owners.

Bear in mind that the players are not the ones who chose to throw out the current agreement to demand more money. The owners did that.

We may not have a say in personnel decisions, but we certainly do have a say in how some aspects of the team are run. You’re just jealous because your team is terrible. I don’t blame you, your team really is that bad. I’d probably be a little angry and just randomly lash out at others, too, if my team was that bad.

Warren Buffett is wealthier than anyone else at Berkshire Hathaway.

The Walton family is wealthier than any Walmart employee.

Larry Ellison has more money than any employee of Oracle.

The Ford family is richer than any of the people on the assembly line.

Steve Jobs is the big money guy at Apple.

The list goes on and on.

If you want to be seriously wealthy, start your own company, and build it into an empire. If not…..hopefully one of these moguls will give you a job that pays well. Be grateful for it.

HAHA I am glad I am not the only person thinking that!

Baaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllin’!!!

Cool story bro.

@30octave …

Right. One owner could have stopped the others. Talk about reaching Rooney has spoken out in support of the players, but he’s outnumbered by the nouveau riche. Dude, you and I are on the same side in this thing.

@mayfieldroadboy …

Oooh, I never put a halo on the Chief. I’m not naive enough to put a halo on anyone Was only making the point that he lived a more low-key lifestyle than the Botox and bling crowd that characterizes some newer owners. I’m well aware that he diversified into gambling operations, but since there’s no record of wrongdoing, you’re speculating about what might have been 75 years ago. However, RICO laws have been in effect for more than 40 years, and we know Dan Rooney–the subject of the discussion–is clean since he was vetted by the feds for his current State Dept. post.

It was money well spent because he made it in merchandising sales the following years.

Are the owners -collectively- asking for more money or not?
There you go…

The unintended relevance provided by PFT.com is to demonstrate that what motivates all of the union supporters around here is class envy and hatred. Look at the comments from the usual suspects.

Michael Moore wannabes.

Correct me if I’m wrong but Shouldn’t the owners be wealthier than the players……..
