i don't see things getting any better for nfl players

[nimbus]

it seems like these athletes are getting so fucking monstrous, just ridiculously fast and strong - while bones and ligaments will always pop just as easily. This season was insane in terms of injuries, and the hits are only gonna get more and more intense. i know these dudes are loaded and swimming in heads, but i still kinda feel bad for them

meh, that's not always the case
think about, you make league minimum of 350k for 3 yrs
get injured, haven't played long enough to qualify for a nfl pension (i think it's 5 yrs)
so you've made around a mill and that has to last you forever.
that's not that much money
a engineer will make more over a lifetime

Then they simply have to get another job. They're lucky to be able to make that kind of money even if for a short while. I don't feel sorry for them. If I made a million in 3 years, I'd be set for life.

i think in a few years players are gonna be taken out left and right. how do you think they should be protected? or is it just gonna be tough shit. i bet a lot of naturally gifted athletes will move towards other sports

yeah, but it did relate to the highlighted text
to reduce injuries maybe their should be a rule on cleats?
you get too much bite your knee gets fucked up
maybe they should have to wear flat soles

I say tough shit. They'll need replacement players constantly so maybe I can get in on the action until my body falls apart which wouldn't take long.

i;m not feeling sorry for them
i just think that peeps assume every pro is a zillionaire
which is not the case
but play five yrs in the nfl, you are elgible for a pension
i think the yearly amount is 200k
i'd take that
