Since the '60's, the NFL has been on a roll. Lots more fans, lots more Big-Ass TeeeVee contracts, and lots more moola for the players. (Today's minimum pay: $800K/season. In 1965, established and good players got about $12K/season, plus $200/pre-season game. The DOL inflation calculator says it should be around $120-130K.)
But there are clouds on the horizon. The NFL's gradual move to "fee-to-view" television instead of traditional over-the-air 'free with ads' is not popular. The NFL's mimicking of Big Baseball's ultra-luxe stadiums-for-socializing is also drawing fire.
Especially in Buffalo. Read the story. You won't believe it.....
