Charles Grant mad at Saints fans!

[QUOTE=skymike;188614]. It aint Charles Grants fault you cant play.

QUOTE]

and it isn't my fault he can't play, at least to the level he is being paid.

$1 million per sack seems excessive, and to a guy making $45K and paying $100+ a ticket, it is unacceptable.
No one is doubting that the players work hard, but in most jobs we are judged by results, not effort.

Grant might need to accept the fact that HE was the one being booed, which gives him 2 options: play better or leave.

You're right. It is unacceptable to pay money to watch a guy making too much money. You should stop going to football games.

Write Tom Benson a letter demanding he gets control of salaries, and tell him you wont come back until he does. I'll go buy us some 7 dollar beers, while I wait for you to come back.

They ALL make too much money, and we are wasting our money. facts. You could save a kid in Nicaragua for what you pay to park.

For me, I enjoy football much more not knowing or caring what anybody makes.

Are you really paying 100 a ticket? Damn, you need to come sit with me in the Terrace, dude. Save that $$. great view, great fans, more violence.

dont be mad, I'm not serious.

I am confused a little on this topic. I'm not sure which group I fall into. First off...I hate it when people complain about their salaries. At the same time, I hate that they make so much money. The difference, I think, is that I realize that it is us, the fans, that dictate their salaries...so how can we complain...and just try to make people stop watching.

However, if you stop watching, that by itself would not put an end to it. You would have to stop buying the products they endorse...thus, lost revenue for the sponsors and pulling of their ads and it just trickles down from there.

What has me confused is where I fall. I do not go to many pro games anymore. I have never held season tickets. I am not much of a beer drinker...and I only buy cars as necessary.

I do, however, own a dish soley for the purpose of watching NFL football...and this is what has me confused. Does that make me guilty? I think not...because I'm not the one complaining about their salaries.

A bunch of fans excoriating a football player for expressing his opinion. The justification for this is the right of the fans to express their opinion.

Hypocrite much?

If it is a fans right to boo it is certainly a player's right to express his opinion. His opinion is that booing when a team is 13-2, division winner and headed for a playoff bye week is demoralizing. A valid point of view.

I think anyone who would boo in that situation is probably an LSU fan and as such may need this link to understand this post.

This may also be helpful.

*You're not and I'm not. Was Grant?
