Football players aren’t replaceable. At least not at the level people are willing to pay too dollar to watch.

Yes they are. College football gets big ratings every year with replaced players.

We're talking about professionals. If the Chiefs could replace Patrick Mahomes and save themselves $450,000,000 without impacting their business, they would.

The same people that think they're an irreplaceable 10x engineer think athletes are replaceable cogs... imagine that.
And how many Patrick Mahomes is there in Chiefs? Dozen? Dunno amount of players per team in not-football.
