Bad enough that the athletes get "drafted" to the plantation, I mean "team", of the owners' choosing, rather than being free to negotiate their employment with an employer that they choose, as everyone here is free to do. Now they're supposed to stay locked in even if they outperform their expectations, but one minor injury or poor spell and it's all "Ha-ha! We lied! Take a hike, sucker!"??

Screw that.

Bingo. I don't get how the public and the media don't see that part of the equation. They are always quick to shout the player should honor his contract, but have their traps shut when dozens of deals are dishonored at the March FA deadline. Come w/that same energy in the spring and I'll believe their indignation during camp. Otherwise, they can miss me w/that hypocrisy.

The NFL system is asinine. And both sides willingly signed up for it. So I don't care about the complaints from either party. FAFO.
