They should all sue Bill Walsh and his West Coast Offense.
Also if they did this by hits/contact per dollar it would be even worse.
Sad deal. Very unfair. They are actually being penalized for the risk not the value. Owners know they can blow out a knee on every play. They also age out in 5 years.
The one for me is teachers. How many times have we heard that teachers are underpaid, and that they are just martyrs on behalf of our children. Well, Transparent California website will tell you exactly how much they make, as well as their benefits, etc. Any public employee is on that list. It is mind boggling how much some of these people make. 135K a year for a PE teacher. It's all about what they do over summer to get "certified" for things that bump their pay. Crazy. Fireman too, although they are worth it, becuase i am not running into a burning building or willing to see the stuff they do on a daily basis. A lot of those guys were "retired" to get them off the books and then come back in as contractors, many make 500K+ if they are at a high enough level.
Yeah. I think the thing with teachers is the starting pay isn't that great but if you go online to any make believe "university " and get advanced degrees it jumps your pay. Firemen is an interesting racket, you gotta know someone to get in. All of these gigs have great pension plans and benefits, thanks Mr Taxpayer.
I know some fireman who have taken the early retirment that was offered. They were given an opportunity to take max pension early, which cleared them off of the operating budget. They then came back in as consultants/contractors at the same pay they were making before, which turned out to be more in-pocket because they didn't have to have some of that earmarked for the pension. The state/County/Cities love doing this because it saves them a grip. Most of these guys now live out of state and fly in for a week or two every few months to work their shifts and then go off and play. These are not the grunts, so most of this is for office/supervising roles.

Such is life, there are plenty of dudes laying bricks, unclogging sink drains or pouring concrete that make more than most doctors.
