That is driven off of TV contracts and those should keep spiraling upwards. Team values will keep going up and player pay (salary cap) is tied to the TV revenue. Players are getting paid no more than they deserve to get paid ... which is what their employers are willing to pay. I never have had any issue with what any professional athlete makes.

Maybe they should start playing rugby if it doesn't work out.....it doesn't pay as much but there is international travel and free beer!

Edit: We have an international team, USA Rugby. which plays other countries but there is also professional rugby teams that make a good salary. Just sayin'

It is highly unlikely any football league has a real chance at making it. There is just too much money and power behind the NFL and college football, and these powerful wealthy people will never allow anything to interrupt their profit margin.

The NFL seems fine with the CFL as a farm league.
