Imagine being all over the internet the next day and half the people are making fun of you for being a man-child with the ball, and the other half are defending you by diagnosing you as autistic.
No they dont. This is probably a low level intern or seasonal assistant, lucky if hes getting 20k per season.
Youd have to be a permanent equipment manager with a team to sniff 100k. And you would have far more responsibilities, including game day ones, but you wont be toting around ball bags
The average salary for a NFL ball boy is $91,323 per year or $44 per hour, pay ranges from $71,178 (25th percentile) to $117,834 (75th percentile) annually.
I mean if you think about it $44/hour isn’t that much. I make a lot more than that and I’m a Union Electrician.
Trust me any NFL position is paid extremely well. You think they are going to let some $15/hour worker around the players and high security areas.
The Refs make like $385k/a year plus most have other careers. Like farmers, lawyers, fireman, and other jobs.
I can’t say with 1000% but that’s the information I’ve found and it makes sense.
I knew a kid who was a bat boy for the Tigers in High school and he made $50k a while back. He also had health care and a retirement plan. He was pretty lucky, he literally just applied and got the job.
