Give Kap his credit. This ain't the same. Kap has walked into a different level. Sherman is T.O.
So just shut up and be grateful health be damned?
What does what other people make or don't make have to do with that man?
If you want to use that argument then you could say the owners make way more than him per game just to sit in a comfortable heated/air conditioned booth so in his world/income bracket he and other players are comparable to the people you're referring to when you consider the owners of these teams are making billions compared to millions and a very short career.
end thread.
That KC OAK game was horrible; You see how bad OAK played?? Overwhelming majority of these games on thursday are awful; it not the matchup; every team has played on thursday so it has nothing to do with the matchup bro...
Thursday night games have some of the highest ratings on TV for that night
Athletes are no different than your 9-5ers. He felt inconvenienced but was well compensated for it. Many people work grueling hours and get nothing
Wasn't saying the situations were the same. Obviously the shit Kap is protesting is of far more importance and significance.
I'm saying the responses are similar. Instead of addressing the validity what hes saying his income is being raised as a valid counter point. Or the "he should just be grateful he's playing" argument is raised.
Obviously totally different subjects and levels of importance but the same bullshit arguments are used to discredit their points.
Actually the ratings on thursday night games have dropped every year; again comparing apples to tomatoes doesnt really make sense; and compensation or not, he still has every right to try to improve the product that hes apart of...
This would be the logical solution but they won't because only certain teams/matchups will draw primetime ratings.
This man played a grand total of 27 minutes. No one is feeling sorry for that clown who took home $875,000
Well, the people in the NFL are among the best in the world at what they do. How many of the people who are in the top 1 percent of what they do are complaining? Top lawyers. Top surgeons. Top developers.
Don't compare professional athletes with folks who aren't even among the best at what they do within their own city limits. 7 billion on the planet, but how many folks can do what Sherman does?
About time someone had balls to speak, since the players' union ain't shit.
It don't matter what they'd give. If they were good enough they'd be playing this thursday...
let's not discredit the hard work and talent it takes for these guys to be where they are
it wasn't by accident.
That's bullshit. He just chose a lucrative profession.
Nobody bats an eyelash at all these other jobs that pull in millions where they hardly do SHIT and they don't have to worry about being able to play with their kids when they get older.
The money is there for them to make because we watch it and sponsors pay. So let's get off this bullshit about what they make. They make that much because the people who own the team can afford to pay them that much and still make a big profit
that's always the dumbest argument in the fucking world.
you don't like athletes getting paid so much money. organize. don't watch. don't go to games. stop the revenue stream and they won't
until then stfu
Packers hurt that nigga's heart.
I agree totally man...Dude whatever... it is what it is.... You are adding extra bullshit to try to validate your argument, da fuck fighting for wages have to do with him not liking playing on Thursdays...
So, if a motherfucker doesn't like the fact that their company business hours are 8-5, they should 'fight' to have the boss change it... Or hey, maybe be pissed because the weekend is only 2 days long and it should be 4... .
Again, the league has been playing Thursday games for 10 years, if he doesn't like it, negotiate with his team so he doesn't have to play Thursdays or fucking quit end of story...
Being good at something does change perspective. Just because the maintenance man at your local city hall is not a athlete does not mean his work is less valuable than Sherman. Stop putting athletes on pedestals as if they are any different from you. They work the same way that you do.
I said nothing about an athlete deserving pay. My statement was very clear. I have no sympathy for a man that worked a grand total of 27 mins for $875,000 dollars.
Ask the landscaper on construction worker who has worked 10 days straight.
Before I started my cleaning business I worked in marketing in a nice plush office with cool air, coffee and internet. I use to complain about my marketing job working me to much until I started my cleaning business. Spending 13 hour days scrubbing the piss off toilets, washing floors and tubs was some demanding ass labor. That is when my perspective changed. People complain about the dumbest things
If you have the opportunity to work 27 minutes for $875,000, be thankful. Most of us will never receive that opportunity.
All lives matter nigga
And they have to practice in between those days.
I guess that they could all wear the red or yellow no contact jerseys and helmets or all be put on the injury report, so that they can all skip each of the practices during those weeks....I suppose.
This. The only people that would disagree with what you said are cacs and cats who never played. Plus Thursday night games typically suck.
Football is mental and a very physical sport, work place safety shouldn't be a debate regardless on how much money sport athletes make. The mind and body needs rest. And it's not just about playing the game mid week. You have practices video reviews of games, studying the opposition. Football Players not sitting around doing nothing for the next 3-4 days waiting to play their next opponent.
garbage men are making 6 figs here in ny being garbage men and i kno a lot of custodian jobs that was starting at least $15 and up..in fact early 2000 damn near any janitor job i heard was starting btw 18-22 an hr and that was back in 2000.. some people make more than that and are doing real good and none are doin 14hr shifts..if they are u best believe they getting double shift/ot which is a time and a half.. so that 18 an hr now becomes 27 an hr..remember that's starting at 18..who knows what it jumps to over the yrs
There are places outside New York
yeah seattle starts 15 and up at any job..cali pays pretty fucking high to.. kinda mad u was trying to make these people who work these jobs look like they starving and when somebody points that some are not u use the there's places outside ny.. hey juss like there's places outside them slave wages u posted..see it can go both ways with your argument
No where remotely do people make those rates in the south. New York and West coast people never think about cost of living
have u been to every job in the south and saw their exact pay?? how many states how many job locations are in the south for you to say or prove your answer??what do custodians/garbagemen make in alabama/south carolina/ georgia/florida/texas/etc? show me those answers/numbers
you ever considered the cost of living for an athlete
..it mite be diff state to state
You're talking about what he's making but not what the man whose signing those checks that is asking him to play with no recovery.
There is a very large thread on BGOL that I am active in. I have owned a janitorial company for a long time now. I am now in a few states. Those rates you posted are not even close. I never worked out of NY or Cali but you can't get those rates anywhere else
Tell that to the billionaire owner asking players to play with less rest.
there's 48 other states name the states u operate out of it??state/town/ area
You asked a question and I answered from experience as this is my line of work.
As with any contracted job, whenever one side realizes a deal breaker exists, it behooves them to negotiate until an acceptable agreement is met.
Quitting ends the option for either side to benefit.
He's not whining, he's using negotiation tactics.
How is he using negotiating tactics... He's under a contract he signed. There is no one else at the table. While your first sentence is very true, it does not apply in this case. There is no deal to break, and no negotiation, because he's already signed the contact. The time to negotiate would have been when he had leverage PRIOR to signing he contract. He's whining now Bruh, maybe regret signing the contract under these conditions, I don't know...
ok so answer the question than..u was responding to mean in 60 secs or less than when i ask for the info u took a 11min break..was you looking for google cause you didn't have the answers?? this response u gave me was very weak..what's them states u operate out..the state/the town/the area?? that's not hard to say since u quote on quote run ur bizz in diff states.. i mite kno a few people who have their bizzness out of state to and i wanna compare numbers to see how accurate yours are..so what states do u operate out of???
He knew he would be asked to play with no recovery and still signed the contract. No need to worry about what the man signing the checks is making... He had the option to request a no thursday arrangement when he signed the contract and didn't... Now, thats his problem. I was talking about what he's making under the context of the post I was replying to. His salary is NOT my main point of contention...
