EA dished out $35 million to NFL Players' Union in 2007
With the drama surrounding EA and the NFLPA right now, all kinds of dirty laundry is being pulled out from the bottom of the pile and paraded to one and all. Enter former Oakland Raiders defensive tackle Dave Pear, who has posted the NFLPA's 2007 LM-2, a report required by the U.S. Department of Labor that lists the money EA payed out to the NFLPA.
It's best to keep in mind that this figure is for the NFL Players' Association alone, and does not include money EA had to shell out to the league for licensing stadiums, team names, logos, uniforms, etc. If we were to see how much EA paid the league for those things, it would probably be much larger than the $35 million the NFLPA received.
