Mr. WEO

As an American, I am unfamiliar with this company and what they do.

likely all of them. How many NFL players have a college degree? If every UFL player is there by choice for their career, doesn't that mean they all agreed to the compensation when they joined? Why shouldn't they be allowed to make that choice. Plenty of people work in actually dangerous jobs for less (loggers death rate on the job is 1 per 1000), yet they may not have health insurance--and they certainly don't have agents or nutritionists. Should, say, logging not exist because of the poor pay and real danger? How about roofing? Mining? These guys should thank their lucky stars for someone agreeing to pay them to play a kids game. Their alternative is to get a real job--clearly they would rather not.

the league has no money to pay more than that. they should put their college degrees to work for real money, no?

Strange move for a guy they just signed. Where was he going?

I believe it's just the QBs who are threatening to not play. Who is exploiting them? They can chose not to play. No one else is willing to pay them to play football. The NFLPA has nothing to do with the UFL.

I believe that's what they get---the best ones who still want to play for money anyway. No one is going into the UFL or any of the phones leagues that preceded it for money.

Those are in the NFL. UFL gets the best of what's leftover. Guys will join if they want to be on TV playing pro football. players certainly had the opportunity to voice their demand for year round health insurance before they agreed not to receive it by written contract.

they are 1 year contracts. the contract terminates if they sign with an NFL team. if they go back to the UFL, their former team owns their rights. they have a union, so there are dues no doubt. there is a $400 a week and $55 ad day voucher for housing and food, respectively. there is a 401K plan. none really relevant to the topic of health insurance. but the answer to "did you sign a contract that included year round health insurance?", the clear answer is "no"....

same as any contract. if you willfully signed a contact that does not include health insurance coverage then it's harder to bargain for it after the fact.

I bet this makes teams less likely to trade for him lol

did they guarantee it before these guys signed their contracts?

as a business with little resources and a bleak future, they aren't going to pay for that. players understood this before they signed up. it's wild that each team carries 3 QBs.

nah

Giants are awful. They have one skill position player on Offense. Jets had a better roster and they still sucked with Rodgers

Schoen and Daboll.....lol. clown show duo lives another year! "Win now mode!". I hope they do this.

he's looking at this:

they own 2. the age of the airframe is irrelevant. it looks inside like it has been gutting and refurbished will all business class type seating. not sure where the ashtrays are ...

There is not a shortage of properly configured charters. Yes they can land there. Miami does it. that's not the point of the poll why doesn't the team travel in this?:

Cook is the upgrade at RB....

Even Rico wouldn't get off that stoop to play in these bogus football dress up day leagues

this guy was a bum in Minny. his Bills collapse was predicted easily.

this is the best part lol: "Playing it out, the UFL could hire replacement players. Which would diminish the quality of the product, but would result in games being played as scheduled." imagine trying to come up with an entire league roster of even worse pro football players? another pro league predictably bites the dust.

Brady never got to 70% and had career average under 65%. Mahomes never smelled over 70%. It's a meaningless stat for a top QB separation? Shakir only averaged 10.8 per catch

So of course they fire the head of the training staff, instead of hiring more trainers....lol, wtf? nah I don't understand why there one flight every other week could not fly out of Buff, given that the airport has been open for business on usable runways. They are flying commercial jets--none are jumbos. Of course. Atlas, Eastern, etc. In fact some airlines, such as American, dropped charter service for NFL teams some years ago due to money lost on each trip. Terry is cheap... If other teams are flying better chartered planes then why wouldn't they complain about tiny seats in economy? I would for sure.
