If football players with salaries of a million dollars a year, or more, are willing to go on strike for more money, then let them stand outside the stadium carrying their little picket signs whining about how they deserve more money, and replace every last one. Bust the union, and the idiot football players’ grandiose egos.
Very well said Joyell! I love it. We are kindrid spirits.
The players going on strike aren’t the ones making millions, they might be the face of the league but for the most part they don’t really care how the money is getting divided. The guys going on strike, the ones with the most to gain and lose in this, are the guys making league minimum, well under a million a year, that are going to be lucky to have 3 year careers. And actually at this point they aren’t whining for more money, they’re trying to keep the money that was promised to them with the LAST CBA that the owners decided they didn’t like after the fact. Nobody is on strike, it’s a lockout, most of the time that’s a matter of semantics, but this time since it was the owners that decided to opt out of the CBA it’s really true, the owners have locked the players out, nobody is on strike.
They aren't striking and they aren't asking for more money. The owners are crying poverty and asking for another billion dollars off the top for themselves. The players have asked them to open the books and prove their poverty. The owners have refused.
