Considering they’re just playing a game, that is a lot of money. Posted 04/10 at 11:30 AM

My back-of-the-envelope calculations show player salaries (roughly 2.7 billion according to the link) as around 41% of (publicly claimed) revenues (widely reported as 6.5 billion for 2008). Last year players received roughly 50% of revenues in the NFL and 57% in the NBA, according to their respective players’ association web sites. Posted 04/10 at 12:22 PM

Did you add in the value of their included health coverage and free travel? Posted 04/10 at 01:19 PM

No…I couldn’t easily get that data. Looking a little harder, it appears that benefits are included in the NBA number, but the NFL ratio goes up to 58% if you include benefits. Best estimates for MLB appear to be 51-55% for the last few years, and probably lower this year with revenue increasing year-over-year roughly four times faster than salaries.
