You want players to be animals on the field and gentlemen off it?
Sometimes that don't happen. Especially when these guys, who are working their body, minds and tails off to get what they feel they deserve in a gladiator sport where their next play could be their last.
And they're young men! Some are naturally business-like and "classy", but many aren't and it's just is what it is.
I find it funny you want so much from these guys you don't know and don't affect you except for your fandom of a particular sports team.
I totally get it, but how many of us played high school football just for fun???
The game has become totally wussafied and we all know it... Sure' they might get injured, but that’s why they get paid the big bucks....
Even the lowest paid practice squad guys are banking, big time.... My right knee is still jacked up because I played, but I wouldn’t take it back because of the times I shared with the guys, which I’ll always cherish...
You ever hear many vets or cops talking about their crappy salaries? Hell no, they suit up and play for real...
NFL players these days aren’t only soft, but they act like a broken leg is the same thing as being shot in the line of duty - it’s ridiculous man...
I get that the GAME is “rough” - I suppose - but ask anyone if they’d take half a million for knees that are shot and back pain that never goes away.. I’d bet you anything most people would take that trade in a heartbeat...
These guys come off like entitled scumbags, and despite the top players getting paid MILLIONS, they act like they’re on the front lines in live combat...
These guys aren’t saving lives, and in the end, they are just playing a game...
Acting like their injury problems are so gruesome that they should be paid as if they were gods is really off-putting to many people...
