NFL for National Future Security

NFL for National Future Security: Imagine a league where players were paid between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 a year and restricted to 3 years of play. That would give each player more than enough money to either retire on, or invest in a new or existing business. This would open the door to see new talent enter the field of play every year. To make dreams come true for thousands of young college graduates to play for a pro team and become famous for a spell. Most players are on scholarships. So they don’t owe huge college bills like us average Americans. That leaves the field open to start new businesses. How many? That all depends on individual planning, skills, and determination. But every new business helps the economy grow. New businesses create jobs, require new or remodeled buildings, support food stores, material suppliers, and other local businesses. Of course colleges would have to learn to take advantage of the new economy and offer specialized course to prepare young people for all those new opportunities. Think of the new and innovated ideas and designs those young people could experiment on and introduce. This industrial age would see a spike like never before.

This is only an idea. I doubt if anyone in the NFL will ever read this. Or this idea would ever get anywhere. But couldn’t we use a game like the NFL to create a sort of perpetual motion economy? Does anyone out there have a better idea? What would you do if you had $6,000,000, your whole life in front of you, the education, know how, and confidence to succeed?
