What a bunch of girlified, wussified bull sh*t! This stuff happens in locker rooms all over the NFL...every locker room in the NFL and in just about every college, high school and pop warner league locker room in the country. Not for money...but it happens. It’s football not girls softball.
The commissioner works for the owners. The owners want more money. You get more money if more games are played —but only if the merchandise remains undamaged. It certainly has nothing to do with player safety.
Have they protected the QB too much? Sure. Have they protected the WR's to much? Yep. But when you are paying players bonus money under the table to injure a guy...an possible END their career? That's too far. Let someone do that in your line of work and see how you like it. Let's see if it's fair and part of the "game."
There is a difference between hitting someone hard and trying to cause a severe injury or end a player’s career. Only a thug would take pleasure in hurting someone else.
