...ticket revenue is a drop in the bucket in terms of NFL revenue. You may not buy a ticket, but you pay your cable bill to watch the games, and buy the products they're hawking in all of the commercials, and probably some stuff that individual players are being paid huge endorsements to hawk on their own time. If you buy anything with Nike on it, you're paying professional (and now collegiate) athletes of practically all sports.
BTW--those "uber expensive" tickets aren't being sold at "face-value"--you're lining the pockets of the professional "scalpers" (aka, ticket brokers)--same goes for concert tickets.
