Trump said, "Most of that money (made by the NFL) goes to the players."

According to the collective bargaining agreement now in force, the players are getting 48.5 percent of revenues, a number that can’t average less than 47 percent in the 10-year life of the agreement. That’s not peanuts, but it doesn’t meet even the most generous definition of "most."

We rate the statement Mostly False.

Some players get up to $24 MILLION, last I read. However, the business is a multi-billion dollar business, so relatively speaking, Trump is incorrect.

Such a waste. Too bad we don't funnel billions into education or something important.
