Let's put it out there. Should this fella be allowed to delay his military obligation to play in the pros?

Trannies playing Army v Navy. It might be the final straw. Either our military rebels or we really do bow down before our new lord and master Xi.

At the very least, a newly-commissioned ensign should not be campaigning in the court of public opinion to have the decision of the Secretary of the Navy and the rest of his chain of command overturned.

No. He knew the rules going in, and plenty of other people have filled their service obligation before going pro. Roger Staubach is one very well-known one.

NFL should not be allowed to draft at military academies. Period

My father, captain of the team was drafted by Detroit while at the academy. Still have the letter. He’d broken his back, neck, front teeth replaced. Saw a lot of injuries besides

He said no, what if I break my leg? I’ll be out of any career. He went on To be a marine fighter pilot then corporate Vice President of a still Fortune 500 company. Saw semiconductors through the ground floor

NFL. Pshaw. He watched the NFL from his den in his 10000 Sq ft suburban home.

Any time the subject of compensation for student athletes is brought up, it should also be mentioned how underpaid are research and teaching assistants. Especially those whose research leads to the creation of new useful technologies.

I'm all for leveling the playing field. Make a couple years of uniformed service compulsory for anybody before they join the NFL.

Might get rid of a few Kaepernicks and other ne'er-do-wells and clean up the league.
