Can’t understand that the majority of them never stopped just to say hello for a minute to the fans….been watching the NFL behind the scenes programmes and every player (bearing in mind these nfl players are tens of millions more money than ours) always stop have a chat sign autographs have photos taken etc…really take the time out to appreciate the fans

Probably because when you watch the video when most of them arrive there's no one/hardly anyone there.

You see plenty on the socials of players stopping and getting photos and signing autographs, I think I'm right in saying they do it when they leave training rather than when they arrive which makes sense both from a timing point of view and traffic.

I'm not an expert here, but from what I've seen, largely through the shows I've watched, there seems to be more of a sense of fan involvement in US sports. Lots more community led stuff and players spending time at Q&As etc.

I wonder whether it's something to do with these franchises being able to up and leave for a new home and needing to win hearts and minds, or because the seasons are a lot shorter and so they have more time to spend doing that sort of thing?

I'm not sure the amount of money they earn has got anything to do with it though.

Not exact figures but widely reported, the average NFL salary is about $5m a year, it's only the superstars that are on mega money. The average PL salary is about £4m a year, so they're not earning tens of millions more.

To be fair, hardly a week goes by in the NFL without one of the players committing some sort of heinous crime.

Deshaun Watson had to settle over 20 allegations of sexual assault and was given the biggest contract in the history of the game as a reward.

Tyreeq Hill another one who has abused women and children yet got a spot on the leagues best team.

If Mason Greenwood was an NFL player it would not have affected his career at all.

Does anyone have that photo of Apostolos Vellios leaving training in a Mini, looking like the most handsome man on the planet (because he was)?
