Appreciate and respect everything Emmitt did as a player and steward of the game during his playing days.
However, I frequently have disagreed with his views since his retirement, and this is just another case. He represents the player perspective with passion, and he should given he was one of the best to put on a uniform. Often though, he doesn’t separate his emotion from the business side of the sport.
Thanks to all who wear the Star but I’m not going to shed a tear for people making millions of dollars for playing a sport and have to be told when financially they don’t fit and/or aren’t capable of living up to a contract.
If I was paid comparable dollars in my career position to what Zeke got paid as a RB, I justifiably would have been kicked to the curb some time ago for lack of performance.
I prefer to try to respect the opinions of others instead of trashing them so I’ll politely disagree with Emmitt and move on to the next post. But, if you play the trashing game, I see no need to hold back on your comments as I place no more credence on Emmitt’s OPINION than I do anyone else’s in this room.
