I stopped buying NFL jerseys in 2005 after a Rudi Johnson purchase. I still buy soccer jerseys because you are actually supporting a club vs supporting a league.
It’s been years since I have read the breakdown but the CBA makes the money dispersal look something like this. Let’s say that a jersey costs $100 just to make the breakdown dollars instead of percentage points.
A $100 Joe Burrow Cincinnati Bengals jersey
$4 goes to Joe Burrow
$5 goes to the Bengals
$31 goes to the other 31 teams
$25 goes to Roger Goodell and the NFL
$35 goes to Under Armour or Nike or whoever has the contract to make jerseys.
A soccer breakdown of a $100 jersey
$10 to the player IF the jersey has a player’s name on it
$70 goes to the club
$20-30 goes to whatever company makes the jerseys, this is negotiated by each individual club, not the league.
That is why soccer fans are called supporters and not just referred to as fans. For every five dollars that you put into your favorite team, you are putting three dollars into the coffers of your three division rivals. That’s the NFL. Straight up socialism and profit sharing.
