Kaepernick's base salary in 2016 was $12 million he reportedly wanted 20 million to play in the A F if it is less than $10 million. Robin, do you think that does that change anything for you? First of all, I'm not doubting the reporting, but we don't know what the sources. So I'm always a little bit skeptical on some of these numbers and treating them exactly as fact. But let's just say that number is correct. If it is, I don't know if it actually changes anything, or it feels like it does because of the speculation on that much higher number. If we had never heard those higher numbers 70 80 whatever $1,000,000 that was thrown around with 10 million sound like it's not a lot because the burden of proof four Kaepernick and read in this case was very strong to actually win the suit. So any money being one could be seen as a win, and ultimately it was still settled, right? The NFL still didn't want to go through this process and fight.
