you present your theories like fact, it makes it real hard to debate non-fact. you talk about how people feel and what you think should be done, but wont give a solid reason. do i think the game was worth 5k to see? dosnt matter, somenoe did, and they paid that price. if they didnt want to , they wouldnt have, no one forced them to pay. if you have a better alternative for your money, then you usually take it. you say these guys would walk if they had to play like the old timers of the past, well, we have no idea about that, its all speculation, and we dont know if the old timers would play in this league now a days, theymight not even have the talent, let alone the balls to step into some of these hits. ive been watching past games from the 50's 60's and 70's, and as they are great competition, they dont have the speed or power todays athelete does. my dads roommate was on a Notre dame championship team of the 60's, and we got in a talk about this, and even though he was one of the stronger linebackers, he even said guys today, even on the college level are far beyond what they had to deal with.

i still cant believe you are giving trent green shit, that was one of the hardest hits ive seen on a QB, and to think you can come back the next week after a brain injury, you just dont know the effects of a consussion on the brain. remeber they have the state of the art best medical teams working on them, with doctors who are experienced in sports injuries. look at muhamid ali if you think consussions dont do any dmg, or how about the 45-50 year olds who now have altizmers(SP?) because their brain got bashed around in their skull. you just cant accept fact sometimes dude

as far as their pay, look, they are a national entertainer, they get paid the kind of money anyone does who is in this kind of spotlight, and they get more shit than any actor or musician. they are out their risking their career every day they play, cause their contracts can be killed with a single injury. their job security sucks, and they are compensated for it.

i dont get paid(obviously) but if someone would pay me i would take it in a heartbeat. what kind of person would not want to get paid to do something they love? im sorry for dragging this on but i cant let it just go when you say off the well shit like that.

if any of this was wrong, it would work its self out, the money would disapear, the fans would stop caring, life would move on.

oh name me one championship team with someone on their team who was a faker, cry baby pussy? and actually mattered to that teams success. you cant, because the winners still love the game
