Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 902409, member: 874"] I agree that it would be in the best interest of all to change, but now we're talking about what should happen versus what can happen. If it's up to the union to include something, the membership has to agree to it. It's one of the same problems they're having with regard to getting benefits for the old timers now. The current players are unwilling to sacrifice some of their money for the benefit of the guys that came before them, and, as a union, they can vote on that stuff. The NFL already provides a pension, so as a company they're doing their part. At some point adults have to grow up and take responsibility for their own actions, and that's not something that can be mandated. Also, there is nothing keeping these guys from getting real jobs and living like the rest of us. [/QUOTE]
