Punching Bag Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Quote The new deal provides them with a $400 per week housing stipend. $400 per week is not petty change especially since it will not prevent some guys renting a house and sharing.

KDIGGZ Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Yes that's what was lacking in the USFL, higher salaries! They can't put a good product on the field but luckily they are going to bankrupt their investors even faster this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've started multiple businesses and employees who start out with "I want to make a lot of money and have good benefits" is not how you build a business. I've started out working for free many times. The goal should be to build something lasting and sustainable, not make a guaranteed income when you have no product. Give the players some equity ownership in the league and they either sink or swim based on their performance and their engagement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fact that each iteration gets a little better and more stable. When they started, they couldn't make it through a season and were primarily streaming online. Now they're going into their 2nd season and have multiyear deals on major networks. Football in the early 1900s had no product, either. It was a bunch of regional club leagues and they still played their players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WNBA for example has never made a profit. It's charity, not business. If they are paying players 5k per week then they are operating at a huge loss and are just hoping it works. They might as well play the lottery because that's not how a business is run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
