The reality is that the players have haven agreement that forces new employees to work for someone they don't wish to work for. They have no choice for four years. Yes, they are paid well. Previous players have negotiated with regard to how much current players are paid.
Except for a relative few, NFL employees have zero to do with who they work for when they are hired, and for 4 years. As an aside, many players would succeed much better if they were able to negotiate and decide their employer.

So, let's be CLEAR, the players have dealt away a lot for a lot of money. And, of course, the consumers have the same right as always. They can buy the product or not. In fact, for this product, for almost ALL the time, the fans don't have to pay at all to see the product. They do have to pay to sit in a stadium.
