I am a proponent of free enterprise but there comes a point where it becomes absurd, and in my estimation, when you have school teachers raising the next generation of leaders barely able to survive on what they get paid, it is, again, in my view, a case of miss priorities in this country.
We make idols out of these people that swing a tree branch at a leather ball instead of teaching our children who they should really look up to in life and teaching them priorities.
We have CEO’s that bury companies and do little more than mass layoffs to look like they turned a company around and they get compensated with golden parachutes while all the people that worked their ass off to feed the vision get raped (Bear Stearns).
Above and beyond this these guys don’t play for the love of the game anymore or most of them don’t. Just go look at the stats of guys that are in their final year of a contract and see how much better they play then when they first sign a multi year deal.
As far as I am concerned, if you get bonuses for certain milestones (catches, TD’s, etc) then you should get docked 25K every time you screw up and drop the ball (Braylon Edwards).
The bottom line: These player’s will assume the position very soon along with their respective unions.
And yes, I am tired of it and am going to do something about it. Not support it in any way shape or form.
