Lots of cushion with Tom Brady
This was the Real Dumb argument that people levied against the players during the labor negotiations. Workers are entitled to certain rights, and just because these workers have exceedingly rare talent and are compensated accordingly (well, given the profits the owners make on these players' backs - sometimes literally - not nearly accordingly enough) does not mean they should be denied their rights.
The profits that the owners make? You mean the same owners who forked out their money to begin with so these players could actually HAVE a job? You mean the owners who treat these players like friggin KINGS with super exorbitant salaries, health care, and amenities? What rights are the players being denied?
