Lol, Scorp, but does this also mean they don't glean that being a social creature I utilize humor as a medium of expression rather than an animal developed instinct as a soldier through two prominant periods of war in my career, and would rather like to instinctively rip their ****ing heads off and piss down the nubs and state, NOW CARRY ON? Golly gee, I think you hit upon something, my friend.
Look, would you put full energies and career path on the line with a belief in the following and current advertisement? To wit:
However, a breakthrough discovery is changing everything. Researchers in Cambridge, MA have discovered a new compound of all-natural ingredients that promises to relieve joint discomfort, improve mobility, and in some cases protect the actual joints themselves. The new proprietary formula, branded under the trademark Instaflex Joint Support includes ingredients with clinical trials nothing short of amazing.
Then why do many of you guys rush to attach to similar claims by a newly entrenched Trial Lawyer who is now the head of a Union? Even when specifics of blatantly wrong disclaimers are part of that team's retort on a variety issues as well.
They are hoping against all cause, that they will be found in possession of an inviolatable golden nugget of being in the path of undeniable right. Well, welcome to a real world that doesn't wage the battle on the basis of privilege and in perpetuity at that.
I once had a single year's income that required an extended table to get right with Uncle Sam. Does that mean, since I was a member of a Union, that I now am guaranteed that high tide mark based upon my being involved simlarly to an anti-trust acceptable group? Why should that, devoid an unexecuted contract, be extended to these NFL players, so as to attempt to jump between administrating elements with a entity of Government itself? Labor or Court? Where does the actual cause for redress measure up with the reality to the entire remainder of the country.
Even in a state that involves an out of court settlement and is encapsulated in a protected entity of a Union's cloak, applications don't even closely approximate the protection claimed and duly being considered in courts, by a player's Association of the NFL.
Look, the exact amounts acquiesced in the last CBA, was the result of a respect for a weathered and long suffering Union member that had long life both directly in the NFL, and as head of a Union that although blundering, was attempting to address the sterness and personal sacrifices of a large volumn of people paving the way for this generatons sophistication as well as privileges.
Neither side will win, with or without success in court, without a future and binding contract between the two sides. That is both the owners and the players. It is in the BEST interest of both to arrive at a forula that is not bound by predicability of a particular slide ruler.
That many even care is more related for a desire to follow the action of the sport, than issues that arise. Here, quality of life is the bottom line, at base level.
Look, if lifeblood of the sport is a relevant issue on the table, then, in the face of gross National strain, players should be well content to improvements, even if at a lower rate as imagined at some point in the past. Hey, the Great Depression was real allright. Ownership flew about as much as the sands in the Dust Bowl. Well, that isn't the case now, but stride can be regained as to top shelf incomes. Believe me, in coparison to life styles of almost ALL other Unions in the Country, they no where approach career plateur levels that players allready possess. Where those levels, which equal far above those total career accmplishments in ALL other Unions are, even at a previously contracted level, are still increasing above levels for ALL OTHER unions. Then I feel that the exuse of that Wizard of Oz located behind the curtain is relevant.
The players allready had on those ruby red slippers from the start. And they aren't the fugitives from justice as they claim. Then also, in process, say that the fans can just yoke the burden and keep on pulling their cart no matter those fans oil and turmoil. As they want the guarantee of a continually escalating rate based upon their previously contractd rates. They are in essence saying, hey, you guys deserve the quality of play by us and need to just keep on suporting revenues to the owners as their gross proceeds feed us. And if we don't get the number of wharehouses needed to keep up with our personal possessions, well, we will just not play. They additionally want to have the courts justify their own life styles that escalate at a given rate.
It boils down to his, despite very huge and significant increases in actual annual salary, they feel they are locked into the concept of gross revenues of that industry as well. The principal, unconnected to a current contract, is like giving governmental validation to a tick.
The contract is the medium of commitment that cements a bussiness arrangement. This jumps to percentage of income of THAT business and claims such right based upon a negotiated right for a role with that business.
They no longer operate on the strength that a worker earns in relation to a view of his actual contribution. It not has evolved to a new binding element not in execution of unexecuted elements, but a co-equal right to income on level of the owner and the entity actually responsible for the life and substinance of that very industry. This exist merely upon the fact of a prior experience and a right of protection which is supposed guarantee a common man's level of respect, health protection, work environments, as well as financial seccurity.
The issue of ownership availability has never even been breeched in such considerations. If there was collusion in roles within the NFL itself, it would involve ability for ownership, and not an increasing level player salaries that improve yearly, whether or not specific team rewards escalate equally.
Since that isn't in litigation, that is not a consideration, but on principal, is diminishes the actual role portrayed as not being included at an equal level, and hence, depriving reasonable inclusion.
Hey, a negotiated contract, or CBA is just that process. Redress for gains, as before. But here, in a reasonable approach, the players want a coup, and to be decared royalty. That just isn't the role of sport.
While some fans solely follow today, for glory of winning and being able to hold that over the fans of other teams, or a gleaned vanity of personal gain more in tune with statistical highlights and media reinforcemets. Well, this poits to a deficiency in the fan today, as well. Not all, but many...who substitude a quarterback percentage or multitude of game by game and changing statistics, for the thrill of excitement in game challenges and human effort and extreme physical exertion and strugge. Too few fans now appreciate a nose to nose strugge throughout whistle to gun. They also don't patiently await a fine drawn line that is turned into a game won advantage and a victory. Now, we espect multitudes of big plays, sacks, and endless Red Zone successes.
The sportsmanship element has left the throngs of many of it's fans. But even worse, the players have lost the soundness of real love of the sport as well as that very element of sportsmanship theirselves. They often are more atune to stars that feel they already are empowered by aspect in their lives, to be fully deserving rewards. In function, they are, but as to motivations, they a real element of men who function in the world of sport and now, envision themselves as boardroom equals but only with their pay.
One loves the role that a Springs gives to a fan's heart. Rightfully so.
One loves the tasking of a Tony Romo, Jason Witten, and DeMarcus Ware a leader in hard times. Rightfully so.
But don't insult my intelligence in the mean time, by referring to a penquin leading a group of principaled lemmings as divinely inspired and full of principals. No matter the characterization of the presence of both an ownership or NFL entity that was the birth for a general set of fairness in the league since it was organized and gone through socialization processes itself.
If that leadership within the Union was so competant and on target with all issues, then why did multiple and former groups have to seek inclusion in considerations to gain forum to begin with?
One can attempt to go in circular motions all day long, and delay real discernment of motives involved. One can stop questioning with an endless legalise recourse, but eventually, someone will identify the malfunction and ask simply...why?
But as with a fan, which was Hostile's point of contention throughout, don't upfront lie to a fan, and tell him you are doing this for him. You see, a fan loved the sport before the players became rich, and self-serving in a sporting role. Those two elements don't mix well.
