I'm not going to cheer for the football players who are making entirely too much money, no matter what position, for playing a game. I know your point is about working together for the collective good but these people are a poor example of it.
ReplyDeleteThis is why we watch more college football than any other in our house now. Although they are playing their hearts out to get into the NFL they still play the game better than the pros.
