    I'm trying to wrap my head around how stupid this post is.

    At your job, are you guaranteed your pay?

    That is hilarious.. defending these poor millionaires,

    while we work at our job.. Wimbley is owed 156 TIMES more this year than a person who does well in my city making 50K a year.

    Me, at my current job would have to work 260 YEARS to make what he is owed in 2014.


    Who are the slaves?

    I don't agree with spending money for the sake of spending it. But I also don't agree with saving money for the sake of saving it, which is what we seem to be doing.

    I don't think he was referring in any way to the amount of money. He was likely commenting on how teams can sign a player to a contract, and then decide not to honor I and nobody cares. Whereas a player will get blasted non-stop for doing so. BTW, the owners are WAY more wealthy than the players.

    It just goes to show how celebrity obsessed our whole culture is. People making ~30k a year pissing and moaning about how unfairly their favorite athletes are treated by the mean old universities and NFL organizations.

    I will say I think kids should be able to immediately declare for the NFL draft after HS if they so wish. Probably won't turn out so great for the vast majority of them. But they should have that choice. But I will never EVER feel sorry for college athletes who are getting a free ride (as well as money/gifts under the table in some cases). And I damn sure won't feel sorry for a guy who is making more in a year than I will in my entire life... for playing a GAME.

    It is still ludicrous.

    Everybody is subordinate to somebody. a middle class person calling a multimillionaire a slave is laughable.

    What we, as regular people, are far from anything resembling slaves (which still exist in parts of the world) and calling someone who is richer than literally 99.9 percent of the world "a slave" is slap-worthy.

    at least 80 percent of HUMANITY makes less than 10 dollars per day.

    about half the world makes 2 dollars or less per day.


    Wimbley is technically owed 21,369.863 dollars per day in 2014. about 10,685 times what half the world makes per day.

    So I really don't wanna hear it.

    Couldn't we have cut CJ and Wimbley next year and saved just as much? Seems like we're giving away value right now.
