The NFL Player’s Association has to be the worst union in America. Here’s an entertainment product that generates $10 billion a year and half the players end up broke in their retirement years when they are brain-dead. They don’t even have guaranteed contracts.
Players should be able to fine teams just like teams get to fine players. Coaches come up with a bad game plan? Fine the team! Refuse to play your best player like Brown? Fine the team! Make your players play on a lousy field surface like the one at FedEx? Fine the team! Every time Jerry Jones opens his mouth? Fine the Cowboys! You owner drives around town with a loaded gun, hundreds of prescription pills and thousands of dollars in cash? Fine the Colts! Your team’s nickname is a racial slur? Fine the R*******!
