Just because someone takes risks, doesn't mean they deserve exorbitant compensation for that. Lots of people take risks all of the time for much less. Lots of sports, and even non-sport jobs are much more dangerous than playing in the NFL, and compensated much less.

Complaining about NFL players not making enough money is just funny to me.

I didn't say they deserved anything. You said that they don't sacrifice anything. They absolutely do. This is completely independent from a compensation discussion.

I do happen to think that players should probably make more, for the same reason that I think all workers should probably make more, not because of any particular risk reason.

No, I clearly didn't say that.
