(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); if football players make so much why do they care about a 80k bonus by winning the super.

even peyton is supposed to get a 28m bonus if he returns.

Yeah, because you'd say no to a bonus

Exactly.......

no im not jelly, im thinking like this, i make a trillion dollars per second, why would i want or CARE to lift a finger for 1 penny? (unless im a jew)
but now i understand and sort of always have understood that its about the honor.

like you would say no to an 80k bonus

If I got paid millions a year to play a game I love I wouldn't be that worried about it. That is just under 1 3/4 years salary for me, of course I would take it.
To them guys however its basically pocket change.

Doesn't make them greedy though

people get paid millions to play A GAME, not particularly this instance but there are many times in pro sports that the 20 million a year guy bitches that he don't make enough money TO PLAY A GAME.

With your reasoning, peyton manning makes 28,000,000 dollars, which for that I use... (2.8x10^7) Manning's pay will be represented my P in the below equation.

Now lets pretend he won a Super Bowl. He would make a bonus of 80,000 dollars, which for that I use... (8.0x10^4) His bonus will be represented by B in the bellow equation.

This equation I just made up finds the ratio of his salary the bonus represents. His ratio of pay to bonus will be represented by R for ratio.

Now our formula will be...

P / B = R/1

Inserting in numbers we get...
2.8x10^7 / 8.0 x10^4 = 350/1 excact. That means for every $350 dollars he makes off of an entire season, he gets $1 from this ONE game.

Now lets put that into a real world application. Now if you were making $35,000 a year, a decent amount for the demographics of people on NGU (assuming I have an 18 - 25 audience) $35,000 / $350 = $100.

That means saying No to this bonus is like saying no to $100. Now think about it, would you still turn it down?

It's a job

no you got it wrong, the bonus is 1/350-ith of what he makes, so unless im a jew and i have 350 pennies , and one falls on the floor i wont pick it up.
and your comparing 100$ to a person who makes only 35k a year. comparing us to players is a big diff
