NFL Retirement/Pension Cries are a Joke

But that does not excuse the NFL from setting them up with a liveable retirement plan. hell most companies in the real world do that. So why shouldnt the NFL!

What planet do you live on? Most companies do not provide a "liveable" retirement plan. Ever hear of social security? I worked for one company for 14 years, and my "pension" from them will be ~$1200 a month. I was making 6 figures with that company. You tell me where I can have a "liveable" retirement on $14K a year.

Have you read any of Rono's baccalaureate level prose on his training for the masters record thread? Washington State University should be damn proud of their system..

this is outside my personal experience but schools in the south and especially florida (fla. state, miami, and on down the line to smaller schools like central fla) always seemed to have a bad reputation. perhaps this should be chalked up to jealousy or stereotypes regarding the south or the fact that these schools often have "thugs" on their roster. at any rate, that was always the "gossip" amongst those in the departments.

When Sam Huff was making only 38k a year, the average good paying job paid 2k a year. Some of them need more to live but ultimately they made significantly more than an average person and CHOSE not to invest it. Also as for concussions, it is sad but no one held a gun to their head and forced them to play. The chose to because it paid them much more than any job they could get in the corporate world.

Think about choosing to have huge grown men collide and crash into your body. The money is why they do it.

The NFL should force the new players to invest 15% of their salary and make it mandatory with some type of NFL 401 k. The investment companies would do it for free to say they were, "The investment firm of the NFL."

i love this "no one held a gun to their head" stuff, especially in regard to concussions. you think these guys had any idea what a concussion was thirty years ago, let alone what the long term damage was from repeated consussions or coming back too soon from concussions? no. the teams and the team doctors didn't know and/or care, either; they'd get them some smelling salts and send them back in. yes, there's blame to be spread around here, but we're all looking at this stuff with the benefit of hindsight and from the medical perspective of today.

The NFL makes billions of dollars a year. I see no reason why they can't fund a retirement package for their "employees" that provides a liveable wage. Going to the goverment and looking for a handout is pathetic. The NFL could invest a very small percentage of its profits and take care of all of these guys. There's no way the taxpayer should be responsible for that.

okay, if you don't know what the hell you're talking about (see this thread as well as your highly intelligent child support thread), don't post about it. it's pretty simple. and you wonder why you have such a shitty reputation on this board. stick to running. it's something of which you have at least nominal knowledge.

What the hell is wrong with you lately?

You are getting almost as bitter as Jim F.

I agree the OP was a fool, but you seriously need to tone it down a bit. You were a bit of a jackass on a post started by Sam W. a couple days ago and have been on some other recently as well.
