Football is a shell of what it once was. Do you remember when football was a game of champions? The answer unless you're 50 is no. Now I'm not knocking 40 year olds, they lived through some of the best moments in this century. But football has become the biggest farse on television. We as Americans sit around on sundays and get fat and yell and scream ,"I hope we pull through this game." WHO IS WE. WE are not making $400,000+ a game. WE are not on strike because WE want more money. How can there be a WE anyway when WE are playing for a new team every two or three years. THEY are playing, and THEY are the reason this season won't happen. The idea of football has even become ridiculous, and too show you I'll break it down.1 1,696 players.
2. $770,000 average salary
3. Endorsements out the ass.
4. Most charges put against them do not interfere with job.
5. An entire country of fans.
6. STILL GO ON STRIKE.
Seriously, this sport should just start fresh because every year people lose more faith in it. And the 7 bagillion dollar super bowls. And the players. I would be surprised if the equipment started wanting more money. at least he can say it without yelling like i do
Get the lawyers out.
PS, i hope football doesn't happen anymore.
yes! there will be football haha :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, I remember the day when my family would just pick up and go to a baseball game. It was affordable, fun and you could always count on good ole Earl Weaver to give you a show. Now I don't get to share that same opportunity with my children because it's too expensive. Since when is someone worth that much an hour and thinks they deserve more. Sad!
ReplyDeleteeveryone's mentioning the strike which is pretty cool, but yeah val there will be football, which we knew had to happen, it was only a matter of time. Besides one's going to give up all that money. =)
ReplyDeletei hope they do shut it down, or at at least get minimum wage!
ReplyDeletethey should take a look at what happened to hockey first
The lockout is over now, but i enjoy watching football and it brings in tons of money to the cities that have teams.
