You define underpaid as being lowly paid compared to their local group but also claim that the group in aggregate is underpaid. Makes no sense.

I think your parent commenter was asking for a citation showing that NFL franchises rake in net profits for owners and another citation showing athletes wages are being held down artificially.

You are presenting ideology as objective truth.

Local group:

Other athletes including basketball and boxing players. The NFL in particular tries to ensure that individuals don't become brands on their own

Aggregate: athletes as a whole

> citation showing athletes wages are being held down artificially

this part is not controversial. the NFL has an official policy capping the total player salaries for each team.
