I could, for sure. Also, I don't condone the 'Normal' spending habits of 'Most' athletes. That isn't point of all of this, however. How they choose to spend money is a completely different topic for debate, albeit a fun one to engage in.

Actually... we have ALL CONTROL on what these rich people do.
If they do something we don't like and we stop buying tickets
and merch., they'll "hup to" in short order. What they assume is
that fans will keep taking it and taking it without end. I think
they're wrong. I think NFL fans have limits too, and the owners
seem to forget who's REALLY paying for their ride.

You know this is total nonsense... this isn't about the fans.
Have you seen ticket prices or the price of dome foam?

My avatar will stare back at you.

The only difference WE can make is to refuse to spend a dime on anything related to the NFL. Boycott the players, the video games, the team gear, and DO NOT watch on TV, or at the very least refuse to spend money at any establishment that advertises during the games.

That's the only way, and collectively, we, the fans, don't have the spine for it. We'll go running back soon after they strike a deal. We suck.

Or, like me, I'm not buying any player merchandise or purchasing anything that gives the hypocrite players any finacial advantage whatever.

I'll watch on Sundays, and buy generic Saints merchandise on the black market.

In fact, I'm cutting down all the "bushes" in my yard and erecting a fence to block the "Brees" from blowing into my yard.

I'm also gonna key a PT cruizer tonight.

"You seem like an Intelligent guy by the amount of words you can stuff into a paragraph so you should be able to understand what i'm saying and asking."

I'd like to apologize for that statement. That was not called for and had no place in the discussion.
