NFL may be headed to player negotiation.

NFL may be headed to player negotiation.
I was listening to the Bleacher Report in the background on my TV. While I agree it is sad to see any famous person, like an actor, comedian, musician end up broke years after their career fades, including sports stars. Anyone old enough remembers Running Back John Riggins of the 1980 Redskins. He ended up broke at one point living in his friend's garage. So yea, some people do need to learn how to manage money.

So to head off a possible player strike in the future, the owners sent out an e-mail making suggestions on how to save money. 

1. Sell clothing you rarely use.

2. Sell a car you rarely use.

3. Rent empty guest houses or rooms.

How condescending, it isn't that they are wrong, but considering how they rip cities off and blackmail them by pitting them against each other to get free shit from the city, and considering that the average fan has to take out a bank loan just to by a thimble sized beer. And a box seat at the Superbowl costs more than some colleges? These 32 billionaires want to tell me they don't have tons of clothing they never use? They don't have cars they rarely use? They don't have multiple mansions they rarely use?

And lets face it, most billionaires are economic conservatives, so they vote for the party that guts funding to everything. Teaching home economics, just like civics should be taught in every zip code, rural, urban and suburban. I have always gotten along better with bosses that don't ask you to do anything they wouldn't do themselves, and those who listen to your needs . I have always hated bosses that sit at a desk and bark orders and not much else.

And these billionaires make most of their money off of merchandising in jerseys, ball caps and other logo'd trinkets. Again, These players prior to going in have played for free as young as pee wee league. Most of the famous rich players we here about are a fraction of the total number of players who only average maybe 2 to 5 years and most play at a base salary. 

But in general, for 40 years billionaires and the GOP have successfully bullied labor in every industry. And all I am saying, is if you are going to say the right things, don't lie about your intent, and don't use that mask of good intent to manipulate the public and pit them against your labor.

The only reason they say shit like that, is to make the labor look irresponsible. If they truly cared they'd put more money in their player's wallets, on top of their concession stand workers and groundskeepers, and pay more in taxes so that schools in all zip codes in both red and blue states, could produce adults that would be armed with that knowledge so you wouldn't have to lecture them in the first place.
