The NFL and the lockout

Now I love football, especially my Broncos, so i'm glad the lockout is over. I do have a lot of beef with the lockout though. Millionaires and billionaires complaining about not having enough money. People who play a game for a living complaining that they work too hard. That all sounds like a bunch of bologna to me. Here are a few numbers for you.  Average of $3,226,563 for an NFL coach (that's per year). The minimum salary that an NFL player can make is $295,000 per year. Veteran players had an average of about 17 million dollars in 2009. Some of the lower owners in the NFL. Owners who appear on the 2010 Forbes list: Malcom Glazer 2.4 billion, Jerry Jones 1.8 billion. The average police patrol officers salary is around $50,000 a year. I don't see them going on a lockout and they risk their lives for other people. These athletes play a game for millions of dollars. I'm thinking there are plenty of other things they can do with that money. If the lockout had stayed maybe they money that the players would have earned could have gone to feeding people that need it? Maybe sending people to school? Perhaps a tax refund here in the united states? The next time millionaires complain about not making enough money I want their boss to give me their salary. I could literally live the rest of my life on Peyton Mannings salary and live comfortably. I understand you worked hard to get where you are and i'm not taking that away from you (NFL players). I just think you should take a look around before you complain about money.
