One thing I think some can lose focus on is the job of the union. They're not there to fight with management but to try and come to an agreement that doesn't cost any of their members any paychecks. Some of those players can ill afford to miss game checks. Many are not partying on the money, they're trying to support families.
And don't think a little in your face to guys making all the top money on the team. They may be teammates on the field but they're still human and the kind of money thrown around to the few can surely cause the many to resent it. They're always in the players' corner when he's going for the gold outwardly but inside where they live? Think there isn't some resentment for Elliott? Think there won't be for Prescott and Cooper? Think every mistake made on the field by a high roller isn't magnified?
Aaron Rodgers talks about the men in the locker room when he said he didn't like it. I wonder what those men thought when he and his girlfriend bought a 25M Malibu beach house a couple of months ago? Yep, Rodgers, all for the common man.
