I'm sore as hell after a game for 3+ days if I'm pitching. Now flying to other countries for games while nursing injuries... They live by their means, who wouldn't. Whether its the turf that gets ya, or the LB, it's always something, big or small.

I get what your saying and agree that they work year around just like everyone else in the world. So no sympathies or amazement from my corner.

What ticks me off is when players getting paid what they get paid complain about the dangers they face and they deserve this kind of money

Accept the dangers of working in your profession just like everyone else and stop crying about justification.

If they got payed based on the dangers faced compared to all other professions they would get about 100k a year and that is being generous.

The icing on the cake for me was the NFL players voting down life time insurance for the cash up front. Leaving players like Swann hanging out on there own for the most part. They also stiffed the retired players in this vote.

Jim Brown Highlights Gap Between Current and Retired N.F.L. Players - The New York Times

Thus a bunch of greedy cry babies in my book.

Roger is a capitalist in its purest form and the owners just love it. I can not blame him for it but his greed is getting to the point he destroying the game.
