Do you worry about the plight of BILlIONAIRE owners? I watch the NFL to see players play the game. These players greatly sacrifice their potential future health to play where the average career is not very long. Why are you against athletes, not the superstars, but the “average Joe” NFL player, getting their fair share of the NFL pie? Go look at any team’s salary numbers and see what players from 10 down make and realize how long some of their NFL careers are.Do any of us have a dog in this fight? No. My only concern football wise is this could cause players to work out less in the offseason and make pre season (and even early regular season) football less exciting because players are still getting into shape. by Elvis 2 years 11 months ago Total posts: 38495 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Ja'Wuan James Tears Achilles POST #42 TOPIC AUTHOR I don't think this needs to be personal.
