Aren't the Seahawks a private entity from a business perspective? So are 30 other NFL franchises. The only exception are the Packers. So why is information about their financial state, player's salaries public? I believe if players or public didn't have this information so readily, holdouts would be a bit less. I work for a private organization, none of our organization's finances are made public unless authorized to do so. My salary information is only accessible to those to need to know. My coworkers don't know how much I make and how I'm compensated. Likewise, I don't know their exact pay either. I know the market but that's it. I judge my compensation by how it fits in the market for my profession. That's what I use when negotiating my compensation. If this was the case with sports organizations, then maybe holdout's such as Kam's wouldn't happen. It's just interesting how organizations differ even using the same classifications - private vs. public, etc.
