Antonio Brown Is Being Robbed And Will Not Remember It

Antonio Brown is without question a top 2 receiver in the NFL and the league has been more pass heavy than ever. Yet he isn't even cracking 15 million/year. The NFL is easily the most violent professional sport, unless you're LeBron running on a fast break and run into a really mean Draymond. Running across the middle is child's play. Antonio Brown makes 15 million/ year while only having to deal with linebackers trying to eat his soul. 

Reggie Jackson makes 16 million/year and is mediocre at best when compared to other NBA players. This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen. If I'm an NFL player, I'm super pissed at our CBA and I'm going to lose my mind. The most vicious sport that has the shortest lifespan and they aren't making the money that basketball players or baseball players are. 

Professional football is the most watched sport, followed by baseball. Waaaaaaaaay down the list, you'll find the NBA (just behind NASCAR). It's bonkers that these salaries are able to happen. Yes, they make a ton of money and they make more in a year than I ever will in my life. I have come to terms with this, so please stop reminding me. But I'll be able to count to 5 when/if I make it to age 50, so I've got that going for me. These NFL deals coming through never cease to amaze me at the difference in them and NBA ones, but I only see the gap getting bigger in the years to come. We'll see how it goes though. Just remember Antonio, I had your back. Feel free to hook a brother up with some of that signing bonus.

All my love,
