Unless you’re built like a fridge that can run a 4.4-second 40-yard dash, probably not. But here’s the hilarious part: the NFL technically is a non-profit. Yes, the league office was a non-profit for years. So while players earn enough to buy a private jet, the “league” claimed it was raising money for charity. Tax loopholes are the real MVP.
Final verdict? NFL players earn a ludicrous amount of money. It’s unfair, it’s silly, and every one of us would do it in a heartbeat if our knees didn’t explode by age 25. Next time you see a quarterback sign a $500 million deal, just remember: he’s probably paying more in laundry fees for his jerseys than you make in a year. And he’s probably still complaining about the refs.
