Welcome to speaking your mind and standing up for what you believe in. Everyone who has amounted to anything throughout history has done so much to the chagrin of their critics.

Also, these older players should get over themselves. I think there should be more healthcare help, but that's about it, and I'm not saying full coverage for every player across the board, just more help. The league could offer positions to old players to help supplement the lack of income once retired, but nothing should just be given. They're fortunate enough to be handed physical gifts that even allow the to play the game and get rich and famous, and it should be their responsibility to judge life accordingly and plan with their millions to sustain a comfortable life. It's beyond absurd, and highly offensive for them to equate themselves to the misfortunate that actually NEED welfare and charity.
