More accurate to say pre-70’s players often had a side hustle. Not so much since the merger, better TV money, and stronger Union/CBA. Back in the day, Some were interns at corporations or media, some got into ownership or partnerships in restaurants, others found regular jobs that were flexible enough to still play football in the fall. Training camp was actually used to get players back in shape. Today, players train year round and usually arrive to camp in football shape. From a fan perspective, game tickets were less than $10. it’s a different world 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
