football & money rant

[Guest guest]

You know, , Indianapolis is supposed to host the Super Bowl next year. If the team owners & players' union don't get a contract done, we'll get bumped down several years! I can't believe the contract is even an issue, like there isn't enough money to go around for those people. All the "little folks" who depend on the jobs provided by all the NFL games, as well as the hotels, restaurants, etc. will just be screwed. I love Peyton Manning, but his contract is up for renegotiation & I wish he would just say, Shucks, I'm already making more money than I could ever spend. I don't need a raise; in fact, I'll contribute ___$ to the retired players' pension fund or whatever. Wouldn't that be a shocker. Now, Peyton does contribute a lot, especially to a children's hospital, but he's made gazillions of money. All these top players have. If they invest wisely (and don't have a slew of kids with different women), they should be able to live well even with early retirement. And then there are the NBA players, and Jay-Z. How can people in Haiti still be living in tent slums while athletes & celebrities blow so much money?!? I can't stand it, and I'm very much for capitalism. Arrrrgggghhhh.

Ramblin' RoseModerator COLTS STILL ROCK! (But Packers rule the world. Sigh. . . .)
