Hahahaha even if you want to go down Marxist road of "wage slavery," multi-millionaire athletes do not qualify.

There are so many things that players can argue about or claim are unjust in how the league works fiscally towards them, but to claim it as slavery is just not knowing the present situation, history of slavery, nor what slavery actually entails.

 

For one, you can choose not to play football, you can retire any time you want to.

Yeah I am having a hard time with at the very, very minimum $20k per week being slavery.

I'd volunteer to be a tackling dummy for 100k.

As long as you got health care/life insurance after you were done to pay for treatment of your decaying damaged brain.

Adam Archuleta got $5 million from the Bears to basically be a tackling dummy in 2007, set your aim higher!

Oh come on, someone has to take the bait, right?

@AdrianPeterson is correct in his anology of this game. It is a lot deeper than most people understand.

 

Rashard Mendenhall

A lot deeper than most people understand? What is that even supposed to mean?

Great, so get off of f***ing twitter and explain it like an intelligent adult, because both of them sound completely ignorant.

How long before someone questions it and someone else pulls the race card by saying that the majority of players are black and owners are white?

It's not that f***ing deep. Really it isn't.

So, the first article involving the "threat" of having players go to the CFL or UFL pops up today.

Like all of the independent baseball, hockey, and basketball leagues that opened up during those sports' strikes/lockouts!

 

Uh huh, yeah, OK. The only league to ever have anything close to that type of impact like was the USFL. That was 25 years ago and the league lasted 5 years.

 

There is a 0% chance any other football league replaces the NFL.

 

(not that you were actually suggesting this knight, just in general)

Robbie Gould came into my work today. I should have asked him if he had any inside info on the lockout, being the player rep for the Bears and all.

That's solid.

along those lines of "alternatives" Goodell is saying replacement players aren't in the plans... at least we won't get that charade paraded in front of us.

 

 

Report: League insists on HGH testing

 

Whenever a new collective bargaining agreement is reached with the NFLPA, the league is insistent that HGH testing for all NFL players be included in the deal, according to a report on FoxSports.com.

 

"We want it. We think it's necessary. We're going to ensure that it's done," NFL vice president and general counsel Adolpho Birch said, according to the report. "That's something very important to us and the integrity of our game. We believe some of the basis for going slowly on it before has been addressed. At this point, it's proper for it to be an active part of our program."

The organization formally known as the players association really needs to muzzle it's players. they arent helping themselves.

Good.

For a minute, I thought I was in the Diamond Club and I was really excited.

MLB has a CBA negotiation coming up this December.

 

It'd be stupid for the owners not to push for that. If nothing else...it covers their own tails...they don't wind up signing a player for big money and then have them break down because of the HGH usage.

 

And..."We don't want to be tested for HGH" is a losing position if you have to take it in front of the public.

I'd hope to be able to cut and paste that response, but we all know the man at the top doesn't have a spine.
