You're right. Why even have unions for any jobs? If they don't like their conditions, they should just quit and let someone else take over instead of fighting to change it, or voicing their displeasure.
Agreed. Agreed, agreed, agreed.
Yes for 14 million a year. That is not even close to what hard labor is. Imagine riding on the back of stank as garbage truck or maintenance man or janitor cleaning toilets for 14 hours a day for $10 an hour.
I see you @RoadRage-ing again...
Dude made $875,000 for that one Thursday night game. That is more than most will make in 20 years
Lol, making wage comparisons is a false equivalence. I know trolling is your schtick but this is poor even by your standards. It's not about the kind of job, it's about the risk to your health. You can't compare cleaning toilets or collecting trash to the taxing detrimental effects football takes on the human body.
Its not even about the money for me Bruh.... I don't think he should be a slave to anything because of his salary, but again, he KNEW ONE Thursday night game a season was a possibility when he agreed to play for this employer...
what does money have to do with the point he was making??
What are you talking about "risk to your health"? If he gets hurt he is still guaranteed millions and never has to work a day in his life.
You're missing the point completely but as stated earlier, that's your schtick. You and others are going on about how much they make when that has absolutely nothing to do with their concern for their health.
So Kaepernicks issue is the same as Sherman complaining about playing on Thursday night? It's the same thing? Did Kap complain that they should stop playing the national anthem?!?! Stop it Dude seriously... Thats the second reach you've tried to make that has absolutely NOTHING to do with this thread topic. Let your argument stand on its own merit for real... You're kind of embarrassing yourself with the 'analogies' you are attempting to make...
agree bro; shit needs to stop for a multitude of reasons; but these dudes in here talking about money and shit is flat out ridiculous...
Dude the whole reason these Dudes are paid what they are is due to the risk of their CHOSEN field... He can also get hurt in a game on Sundays so... what's next, shorten the game entirely? How about converting the league to a flag football league instead of tackle... These Dudes pride themselves on being the league of boom, known for big hits and shit, and now all of a sudden.... nevermind, cool. The league should change a contractually obligated game day which helps pay these players salaries because they don't want to be... nevermind...
To me it is about the money for one simple reason. People with money tend to lose perspective.
His perspective is off. There are many people who have worked 10 days straight fam on some hard labor and have nothing to show for it.
Points that make no sense in the context of the discussion will go over mind head, or better yet under it, so you are right...
I haven't based my opinion on his salary except to dialog on his point. I've actually made my point concerning ANY job. Working at a company is a choice, if you don't like the conditions of your job, you quit and find one thats more conducive to your liking, end of story.
So, what about the players that may enjoy playing on Thursday nights, fuck them because Richard said he didn't like it?
And as for this over my head nonsense, there is a huge difference between telling Richard to deal with the contract HE signed when Thursday night games were a KNOWN scheduling possibility and Kap protesting social injustice by sitting during the anthem, unless you are telling me that Shermans issue is a civil rights movement as well. Before he signed his current contract, he'd played on thursdays already... So, why didn't he address this shit then? Why didn't he negotiate with the Seahawks or threaten to sit out of negotiations if they didn't exclude him from having to play on Thursdays?
My point is very clear... You on the other hand are trying to mix themes and context to further your point... so yep, nonsense does go over my head, and always will...
Bro stop comparing entertainers and athletes to the average person; they are not; if they were average, they wouldnt be in their position and/or getting paid like they do; do you know how many businesses run because of these athletes?? you know how many people are employed because of athletes, not owners, athletes!!! He has every right to try to improve his employer and better his union that he involved in; its a shitty product on thursday, hell its almost just as bad on sunday; but those thursday games need to stop asap...
