This is gonna sound very “hand-egg”y of me or whatever, but is there some data about how much money is spent on NFL every year? Like, by the fans, by the teams, by the metropolitan areas, by advertising and other businesses, etc? Just feels like it’s gonna be widely disproportionate to the amount we spend on other things of similar importance

Very few of them are actually millionaires, and almost none of them will be after their careers end when they can't get any jobs to pay for the medical bills incurred from playing football. They aren't all getting Patrick Mahomes money.

Literal minimum salary this year is $610,000 so yes a player won't be a millionaire if they only play one or two years but most players are unless they totally blow it

Remember when 99% of the players were getting CTE and the NFL covered it up so they wouldn’t have to change the rules and the players could all continue to get permanent brain damage for the entertainment of the fans.

That’s not still happening is it?

Football is a turn based jrpg and a lot of real world time passes loving around in the menus but the players are only "active" for an hour

(plus possible overtime and some other stuff)

That's rarely broadcast except in big games.

Also there's a difference between patriotism and jingoism. Most games have the anthem, only big games have military poo poo and flyovers and whatnot

Oddly that poo poo is really all just capitalism because the military pays them to do that stuff. Not that that's much better

I think it's the military stuff that makes it more jingoistic than just plain old patriotism, but in the current atmosphere almost any overt display of patriotism bothers me more than it used to so I'm probably not the best one to answer that.

Also I'm not sure but I think most games have a lot of military poo poo but it's not televised so you don't see it much at home.

According to some website
"An average professional football game lasts 3 hours and 12 minutes, but if you tally up the time when the ball is actually in play, the action amounts to a mere 11 minutes."

Lol, Americans will sit there for three hours being advertised at to watch 10 minutes of a sport that's not even that good of a sport. It's worse than cricket.
