The column from NFL Players Association president JC Tretter attacking the fine system to which the NFLPA has agreed includes a little news that was previously not reported.
I don’t understand it. How can people not wrap their heads around the NFL? They make BILLIONS in profit for putting a product (players) on a field that make pennies. They invest little to nothing in player safety and when they strike the owners bring scabs. Players like Mahomes or Bosa or Hurts care less about a 50k fine but players on league minimum do(most are or are close). Why isn’t player safety more important than fines? Even the smallest concussion should be enough, played D-1 ball and know I’ll have CTE forever and never allow my kids to play football outside of flag football. It’s crazy, players make the money and get little to nothing when compared to the team/organization. Absurd.
