From the water girl, to video staff, to marketing, to ticketing agents, to coaches, and doctors, nutritionists, to parking lot attendants, to concession workers, to sweat shop labor children in Vietnam making jerseys. Ultimately, the number of individuals supported by owners revenue stake may be in the tens of thousands.
Idk, that tweet really rustled my jimmies for some reason.

Yeah, it's got to be really difficult for each NFL owner to pay for all of those people when each team's gross revenue is only $180,375,000 dollars from the current TV contract.
I really feel for their plight. It must keep them up at night trying to figure out how they're going to pay for concession workers with that little amount of money.
Martyrs, all 32 of them.
