They do. And you know who lives in another universe compared to them?
Owners.
I will never understand people complaining about the millionaires, when the alternative is billionaires pocketing more money.
Modern sports revenue isn't even driven by gate receipts and concessions, like it was in days in the past. Especially in the NFL, it is about TV and ad money. So it's not like paying Chris Jones - or anyone - is taking money out of fans' pockets. You pay for it by watching the games live and viewing commercials.
