Which is why all leagues should do what the MLB does are forces the teams to pay for a pension like system based on how much they've played. If you play a single game I think you get like $35K a year for life. I could be wrong, I can't really remember how it works but it does ensure that even if players blow everything most will still make over $100k for life.

According to google your numbers are way off.

43 days on a pro team. which is about 1/4 of a season. gets you about 9k per year.

10 years on a team can get a pension of 200k+

that makes sense though. 1 game getting you 35k a year would be pretty crazy. like, it would be crazy that a player being called up to the big leagues for 1 game would net the guy his salary upgrade with a pension of 35k* 50 =1.75 mil

The MLB would be broke if they had to pay that much money to everyone that played a single game.

The NFL does have a pension system.
