I was reading about the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund and got to ask, are they joking?
They have gone in front of congress (actually U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation) to ask to look into the NFL’s retirement plan and compensation package for players who are injured.
I am by no means a football fan, but I know that the ‘sport’ is not a true sport anymore and for what people perceive as a need to build a stadium to house a very profitable and greedy business with equally greedy players, it seems we have blurred the line between fantasy and reality over the game of millionaires.
I don’t dare think that people who are making millions would quietly put money into a program to help their brethren without asking the public and the congress to help – that is too much to ask from them.
Sorry football guys/gals, when you talk about the waste in congress, we have a lot more important things to have discussed in front of congress other than occupational hazards that are tolerated with millionaires who play a game. I mean as cruel as some will take this, I think Congress needs to investigate the abuse of the federal court system on shoving pensions onto the tax payers backs while executives cash in on millions – for example Kmart.
