Projection.
“————because “individual achievement” is sacrificed for the common good. “
Gee,I always thought that was called teamwork in the sports world.

I can opt out of the NFL anytime I want.
Socialism, not so much.
If NFL games are to compete for eyeballs then the games have to be competitive, i.e. rich teams can't be allowed to buy the best players and become even richer and better.
Even after all of the attempts made by the NFL to keep the teams about even, there are still teams able to create dynasties such as the New England Patriots.
If the NFL is socialist then so is Major League Baseball, the NBA, the NHL, etc.
NBA also
I could go into detail, but why? Those of us who follow these sports leagues know what they are.
Someone, the fan, has to pay for this. I Do Not want to pay to watch the government run things.
No one produces any wealth, yet they’re all paid- that’s like socialism.

Folks, there’s only one reason this topic comes up.
It’s all out war on Americana. American football is very successful, and those who hate America want to take it down.
Screw em! If they hate American football, take a hike.
Go live in another nation where they’re perfect.
Leave us in peace.
News flash! All sorts of businesses place restrictions

As Americans we are free to say or write just about
anything we want but as employees many of us may be
sanctioned for what we say or write about whether or

article is a big “so what?”.
When the NFL starts sharing with the WNBA, MLS, Arena Football (if it still exists), Pro Lacrosse, etc., then we can talk socialism. Of course, Tom Brady and the player on the end of the bench of the last-placed WNBA team will get paid the same, too, which might get her an extra $10 a year after the sharing reaches every worthless sport that nobody cares about, but it will do wonders for he income inequality “problem.”
very bad writing. NFL within itself is a cartel both owners and players. The system competes for airtime on media.
