No it won't, this narrative has been around a long time all the way back to the first $10 million dollar contract. NFL ratings have never been higher, the TV contracts have never been bigger. People said NIL would kill college football and just the opposite is happening viewership there is killing it. Soccer has long surpassed NFL contracts for it's stars and it is still the most popular sport in the world, even in countries where the common man makes pennies a day to what people here make.
NFL Players haven't been "the common man" for 40+ years and honestly they aren't. These guys are literally better at their job, even the worst ones, than any of us are at ours. You are talking about the top .001% of all people in the world can do what they do.
