1. The first thing I researched was how much money the owners take in compared to the players pay. I found that the owners make a huge amount of money while some players are struggling to get by. Each NFL team is worth about $900 million and the average salary in the NFL is $1.9 million. The difference between player and owners earnings in the NFL is significantly larger than any other sports.
2. Second, I read an article on how many NFL players are living paycheck to paycheck. 380 of the 1700 players in the NFL are living paycheck to paycheck. NFL owners are taking in huge amounts of money while some players are struggling.
I also plan on researching players lives after football and if the NFL is doing anything to make sure retired players can pay for surgeries and be compensated for life-changing injuries.
I will also be doing more research on the lockout that happened a couple years ago.
