Somebody (Board of Directors) had to give these guys the 'deal' they got.....and if so - why. And if so, they ought to be the first to go!
If a NFL owner offers a player a 40 million $ contract - they're gonna take it. Where does the money come from? TV money. Where does TV money come from - advertisers. Where does advertiser money come from - people (us) who buy products.
With corporate 'golden parachutes', if the corp is profitable the money comes from profits, effectively taking it away from stockholder dividends. If the corp is not so profitable, the stock falls and the value to the stockholder declines. In either case, stockholders bite the bullet.
All you can do is hope these guys are paying full boat taxes to the feds and that they are spending most of their ill-gotten gains and thereby feeding the economy.
