About an 11.8 million dollar increase, not as much as I thought it was up!

The window is open for now.
The AFCE is good.
I'm not convinced that number includes gambling revenue.

I wonder what the player's union has to say about this.
The NFL just signed billion dollar deals with Amazon, among others.
You are only going to increase the cap by 5%?
If I'm a player, I'm outraged.

Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

Football never has been family friendly. The game itself is about the biggest, strongest, most athletic people we have demolishing each other over a misshapen leather ball. There are violent hits and brutal injuries. There are half-naked cheerleaders on the sidelines, and half the commercials are half-naked women peddling booze. If you actually go to a game, the entire crowd is hammered.
But you're upset that the gambling ads aren't family friendly?
Personally, I'm glad that the league finally embraced the gambling. They made billions off of gambling for decades, all while publicly being against gambling. Like it or hate it, at least they are finally honest about it.

Fair point, but the game itself is based on violence and has always objectified women and embraced alcohol. Hell, the first time I went to a Bills game in the early 90's, there was a giant Marlboro ad right next to the Jumbotron. The gambling is nothing.
The league drives me nuts with this, though. They want parents paying for tickets for kids who are barely old enough to understand the game, but will want overpriced merch and $5 hot dogs once they're in the stadium, but they also make a ton of money selling and advertising booze, so they want to embrace the party atmosphere at the same time. They're constantly playing both sides. It's really irritating.
NFL teams could give all of their tickets away for free, for the entire season, and still make millions and millions of dollars.
