Impending Strike

Something totally off topic on what I normally talk about. I just felt like stating my peace with this after reading a new article.

If you flashback to 1994, if you remember, or look it up, Major League Baseball went on strike in August of that year. The NFL is facing a lot of the same situations that MLB was facing. There is issues with player salaries, overall labor, and season length. Although season length was not a problem from MLB, it is a very big one for the NFL.

The players are saying that they are underpaid. I think with every sport, they're all over paid. A complaint they have is that they put their life on the line every day, well, so do police and firefighters, and they get pair a fraction of what NFL players get. They have no right to complain, playing a sport like football is a choice, they didn't have to play. They could have paid attention in high school, or college. This is the life they chose.

Baseball wanted a salary cap in 1994, now that the NFL doesn;t have one, the NFLPA doesn't want it back.

Make it simple, my mind is running in other places, and my fingrs don't want to type. There is a strike coming for the NFL, and it will hurt the sport. I will laugh.
