You have to remember football players play 16 games and baseball 162 games. So per game Id say football players!!! Report It
baseball players would make more on average...they also have more endorcements too. it does vary depending on team, stats, and length of contract. Baseball players make more money on average than football players. The main reason is that baseball teams have half as many players as football teams, so the team revenues get spread around less. NFL players are richer. Baseball players need to spend on steroids while NFL players can get a dog free at the dog pound. NBA players are the most rich due to sneaker contracts and other endorsements.
I'd say NFL players are more rich than MLB players though, with endorsements. Who wants to buy a MLB players shoe or anything they endorse? I like baseball, but it doesnt influence anything I buy.
NFL players play 16 games + playoffs, MLB 162 + playoffs. Do the math on that, and NFL wins per game average, easily.
