Report: Arbitrator Rules NFL Hid As Much As $120 Million In Revenue From Players

"NFL players will collectively receive around $50 million, and the 2016 salary cap will increase by around $1.5 million, after an arbitrator ruled that the league misclassified up to $120 million in revenue, according to the Wall Street Journal."

"Misclassified." Whoops!

My opinion won't be popular but I don't think this is anything.  In any business dealing with this type of money, these things happen.  I agree, it likely IS a very calculated tight rope act on a gray line that someone decided to go with but, on the surface, this could be an innocent differentiation of opinion.  The league saw this as money that should be classified for stadium construct/improvements and the arbitrator saw it more like "its a ticket sale" that doesn't fall under the typical.

I actually give the NFL a pass on this one. I am MUCH more interested in the NFL changing their non-profit status last year.  That has OBVIOUS undertones of them wanting to hide or keep financial numbers out of easy reach.

That's about 4M per team. IMO, nothing to see here.
