Calling them Entertainers.. Puts them on a level of WWE...  Which might be closer to the actual truth than anyone wants to admit.

It's true.  They play a game, for the purpose of raising money from spectators, sponsors, and fanatics.  It's only because people want to watch and be entertained by the game, that the NFL even exists.  If it weren't for so many people paying big money for their own entertainment pleasure, there would be no games on TV, no salaries, and certainly no rule changes simply to appease deep pocketed sponsors.  Sounds like entertainment to me.

FWIW, I played adult football in leagues that had no pay.  Guys were only there because they loved to play football.
