So every player will be waking up early to meet up with some teammates and start watching film and keeping in shape for the upcoming team camp preparing them for the upcoming season. Everyone will forget what it felt like during the past 4 1/2 months when we had to fathom the fact that there could be no football in the upcoming fall. The true question is was it worth it? Was wasting all that practice time and spending all that money on lawyers worth it?
In my opinion no. Rookies probably agree with me while veterans and current players are living the good life again.
Now that the rookies and their agents only have a four-year salary contract which puts the pressure on them to perform well. They aren't guaranteed millions. The veterans are the ones sitting pretty. The lockout agreement insured them a $1billion legacy fund for benefits, such as, health insurance for life. FOR LIFE. ALL THE PLAYERS ARE GETTING HEALTH INSURANCE FOR LIFE. I apologize for the caps I just wanted to get that bogus agreement across to you.
Now I understand this whole lockout issue was bound to happen but it just shows me how pathetic some people can really be. Whatever happened to playing a sport for the fun of it. I am sure the players love the game of football. I can relate I have been an athlete my entire life. Shit I just had major back surgery and it's still hard for me to make the decision not to come back. Athlete's fall in love with their sport. It's like a bad break-up when you stop playing. So I don't understand why people are arguing about the material benefits a player gets when the physical and emotional benefits should be enough. I suppose it's greed.
Your probably thinking I am dumb girl talking out of my ass but that sir is not true. I am very well versed in the sports world and I am a die hard Packer fan (cheesehead for life.) I too almost passed out when I heard about the lockout back in March. I was open-minded about the situation. I wanted to be a professional athlete once and now i know its just not in the cards for me. and yes I love my money. I am a girl duhh.
So when I call all the owners who took this to court pigs I am sorry if i offend you but you are getting paid to play for 90 minutes. Play your hardest and the fans will adore you. Play because you love it not because it is your job. That should come second. shoot even third.
1. Love of the game
2. Family
3. Money
Stop being selfish and do what you love because you love it. That is all.
Much love <3
