There was some ya-hoo from the players crying over the weekend about how the NFL wants them to go back to 2009 salaries.
All I could think of was — so instead of making, say, 10 million this year, you might be making, say, 8 or 9 million. Meanwhile, a huge percentage of your fans have no jobs, no income, are about to lose their homes (if they haven’t already). You ungrateful, arrogant, spoiled brat, greedy POS.
I love my Steelers, but if they don’t play this year, I really don’t care. I survived the last strike some years back. There are always other things you can do. There is even other football. The last strike, my father discovered Canadian football. It was actually fun.
Hell I actually enjoyed watching the semi pro guys play that year. You never knew what the heck was gonna happen.
