Ticket prices are going to increase dramatically. It seems everybody is somehow a “victim” these days. What’s next, lawsuits and compensation for every torn ligament and sprained ankle? Where does it end?

It ends when reasonable people look at professional sports and realize how much time, money, and emotion they are wasting on watching tools of the globalist ruling elite play games and allowing themselves to be distracted from issues that really matter.

Starve the Beast.

No they won’t, by the NFL’s budget this is a negligible amount of money. They haul down $9 billion a year in TV contracts alone. $600 million spread over 10 years is nothing, they’ll probably spend more than that on hospitality for the owners meetings during the same time frame.

......was going in a bar in Austin a couple years or so back and bumped into Earl Campbell. Or, I should say I stopped and waited for him to step up two stairs then walk very slowly a few feet and step up two more. Admiring the guy like I do it was a painful thing to watch.

I don’t know if the alleged average cut of $33,000 odd dollars is even going to Earl but if it is it is a totally insignificant sum of money compared to what football has done to him physically.

Yes, I know it’s voluntary and I played the game and my son played the game and probably most freepers played the game. But, say what you will, the game, particularly on the collegiate and pro level causes life time severe injuries. That’s an unarguable fact and nothing is going to change that fact except “shut er down” which some think is where the game is headed. Many junior highs are already cancelling the game. Some high school will soon. Will that start the dominoes falling?
