Watkins wants to get paid more


Recommended Posts

I'm not criticizing your thread. Everyone wants to be paid more. Everyone is pretty sure they deserve it too.

Oh no, I thought you were correctly pointing out the obvious. Who doesn't want More??? :)

 

There's a lot to discuss beyond that. Worthy topic, in my mind.

That sounds about right. I watch a lot of basketball and there are nights that are painful to watch.

That's why I prefer college hoops. Well, that and my team wins more often than not, and as a Bills fan I need that.... :(

Save hockey, most other sports don't sacrafice their body the way football players do.

I also think all athletes in all sports are paid way way way too much as it is.

I to think much of the money should goto the players and coaches. Nobody pays to watch the owner sit in the box.

 

If you are truly upset with amount of money athletes get paid then you must stop buying tickets and merchandise. As long as the money is flowing then the players deserve there share.

I want to get paid more as we all do. I agree with that. However, I wouldn't get on Twitter or Facebook to compare my pay with another employer. I don't think my employer would be very pleased.

Lets start a thread naming people who do not wish to be paid more.

 

Im not digging through 23 pages, but can I assume most fans misinterpreted Sammy's tweet and took it as an opportunity to bash the guy for being selfish, when in reality, it was about the NFL as a business and comparing the profit sharing in the NBA's CBA?

Because your employer is trying to rob you.

 

This notion that salaries should be kept secret is the greatest trick employers have pulled on employees.

If Sammy was a Canadian, would he NEVER get hurt or miss a game due to injury?

If Sammy was a Canadian, he'd be a hockey player.

 

But only if his curling career didn't pan out.

This thread was so predictable.

 

"Be happy with your money, you play a sport for a living!" Keep your hands out of another man's pockets and stop crying about a 24 year old's tweets.

 

In the big picture, athletes are overpaid. But in terms of the money they generate, NFL players are definitely unpaid. If they were smart, they would strike. They should get every cent they can get.

 

It sucks that we all weren't better athletes to go pro and most of us are replaceable at our jobs. But those are the breaks. Don't player hate, congratulate.

I agree with this.

 

I think their union sucks and the owners know it/take advantage of it.

 

But taking it to twitter is asinine and immature. Par for Sam's course, unfortunately.

It's neither of those. Social Media is how people communicate ideas on a wider scale these days. Come on gramps!
