They should all be paid equally.

Read Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut, October 1961.

To make sure there is no taint of regional discrimination, games will be televised to rotating zones of balanced demographics so that no one team is unfairly over-represented.

No proposal. I’m done. They hate whites and America, so I hate them. This country has given them so much yet they hate us in return.

Since they want fair, they should only be paid the average salary for Americans, around $46,000 a year.

I posted this idea in June:


Let's ask Goodell to take a lesson from the Rio Olympics and form a non-aligned Refugee Team operated by the league-at-large to take in all the discards.

Then let Kaepernick play for that team. Fill out the roster with all the other players rejected by the owner-teams. It can field the non-patriotic, wife-beating, dog-hating, gangsta players.


Now I'm thinking that the league should operate one at-large team following your diversity model. Each week, it plays a different team.

They should all play the same position, too.

... and they should not be paid any more than the average American wage. Maybe they should be at the bottom of the wage scale; after all, they are playing a game!

YES, athletic talent is inherently unfair and must be re-distributed by attaching weights to faster and stronger people. Bring them all down to the level of ordinary.

Hmm. Might have missed a bet there.
