There is a good chance that the NFL will have a lock out in the 2011 season. This pretty much pisses me off. The only chance that there will be a season is if every player in the league takes a $340,000 a year pay cut. This is the least that players can do in my opinion. For once, maybe the players should think about the fans instead of their personal pleasures. I mean let’s look at it this way; most players make more money during their football careers than they will ever be able to spend in their lives. God forbid that you can’t own ten cars, or a seven million dollar mansion. What the hell, man? Think about it this way; if you didn’t have your fans then there would be no reason what-so-ever to even play football. You aren’t going to make any money if nobody is watching your games. Players need to take this cut for one year to keep a lifetime of fans. They should consider it that way. Either take a one year cut or lose your fans and take a permanent cut. Fans are what help pay your salary.
Another thing that I think is really shitty about the NFL right now is that there is no salary cap for the 2010 season. Think about it, who is going to be unstoppable next year?? I’m thinking probably the Jets or Giants. With them being New York teams they’re going to have a ton of money to waste and make their team so overpowering that it will be a waste to even watch football. Let’s fix this shit and see what happens.

It is amazing to me what we pay our professional athletes vs. what we pay our teachers. What does that say about the priorities of our country?
