RIchard Sherman on player safety (Cam mentioned)

"Does the league care when Cam Newton pretty much gets hit in the face five times and knocked out the game?"

Sherman is 100% right about the NFL.. they tend to say one thing but do another all in the name of the dollar.. fug the nfl.

Sherman gets a bad rep for his mouth and persona on the field but you can't grill him for anything else. The guy is very bright.

Oh come on. He's just a dumb football player. It's not like he went to Stanford

Stanford is where people go who can't get into Harvard or Yale.. so yeh, he's just a dumb football player...

Or maybe they want to play on a football team that's relevant.

While I agree with everything he said, the problem continues to be that people are talking about Cam getting hit and focus on whether or not he had a concussion, and the focus should be on the pieces of poo that kept spearing him. 

So Sherman can (rightfully) bitch that the NFL didn't do enough to protect Cam, but can't sidestep the fact that had those players been suspended like they should have, the NFL players union would have fought tooth and nail to overturn it.

I know he knows what he's saying.  But did it even need mentioning?  This is so obvious.  Do the players feel used?  Wipe the tears with your Ben Franks . . . if you didn't blow it 2 years before retirement.

For the most part, this is applicable to all business.

You think the big banks of Charlotte care about their employees? Bottom line = All that matters. Yet look at the career pages of most of these companies with words like "family" and "culture" thrown around.

Once you see a company (find a loophole to) terminate a tenured employee diagnosed with cancer, essentially giving them a death sentence, this becomes painfully obvious.

[Hotsauce]

You get played millions and millions of dollars to play a game 16 hours a year. 

The NFL is just as corrupt as the NFLPA, neither side has each other's interest at heart. And that will be the demise of the NFL 

[Jon Snow]

Aren't the dirty players a big part of the problem as well?  I mean everybody is making money in the game so it comes down to how the players want to player the game.  

The game can still be competitive without a few cheap shots to the head because you can't beat the guy otherwise.    No one involved with the game has clean hands on this issue.  Not the owners who profit from a gladiator sport, not the players who's drive to be rich and famous playing a kids game and will risk seious injury or death to do so.  The fans want their thrills and most are too ignorant or uninterested in the squabbles between millionaires and billionaires.

Until the players decide what kind of game they want to play and police their own dirty players and the league decides to enforce meaningful punishment on obvious and repeat offends like they do in cases of drug and peds, they all are just wasting oxygen.
