I have a homework assignment for everyone that works for a privately owned company. Go to your owner and ask to see their books. They will say "go F*ck yourself" in a more polite way. I would say that to my employees it doesn't matter how much I make because I took the risk and opened my own business.

Been there, done that. This discussion has been had many times, some of them in this thread, I believe. The NFL is not a 'normal' business, and the rules governing business practices don't apply to it. Hence the anti-trust exemption, among other legal oddities. So no, the owners can not say 'go F*ck yourself' and be done with it. Or they would have already.
