Employees have concerned expectations about pay disparity
It is a common expectation for employees to receive occasional pay raises, even if only to match the rising cost of living. People naturally anticipate recognition for their hard work and dedication. Furthermore, in a highly competitive industry such as professional football, talented executives are hard to come by. It is important for the league to keep its best employees motivated and satisfied. Freezing pay raises may not be the best way to achieve this goal.

Of course, the league may have valid reasons for its decision. Perhaps the freeze in pay is a temporary measure due to the financial strain caused by the pandemic. Or maybe the league is reevaluating its compensation strategy to ensure that it is fair and equitable for all employees. Whatever the reason, it is important for the league to communicate its decision clearly and transparently to its employees.
In the end, the NFL’s decision on pay increments is a reminder that the business of professional football is just that – a business. The league is built on the passion and dedication of its fans and employees; it is ultimately driven by the bottom line. It is up to the league to balance its financial goals with the needs and expectations of its employees.
