They certainly have more than the NFL with no professional football players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 2 hours ago, Cripple Creek said: I’m not sure about momentous. The NFL is so far behind the NBA, this coming from someone who hasn’t watched a full NBA game in years and years, that it’s not even funny. I’m all for improvements, don’t get me wrong. I’m just not sure that Goodell or owners should be getting getting credit for something they are doing so late. I agree somewhat. But it's a different fan base. Different animal. Even then I don't really recall NBA players kneeling during the anthem. And with a league almost entirely black and games almost every night you would think many players would have. I don't think Goodell or the league are really looking for any credit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was no NFL all of the owners would be billionaires. 90% of players would be working for minimum wage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only former NFL player in my office has an MBA and makes about $300K a year. We have another former player out of our Austin office though. He makes about $500K. I guess those must be the exceptions. Believe it or not they’re both black too ?? 2 minutes ago, aristocrat said: hang on. You think nfl players could actually graduate? Retired NFL players have a college graduation rate of about 80%. The general population is about 30%. Carry on though, hope you learned something today. https://operations.nfl.com/the-players/development-pipeline/college-advisory-committee/nfl-player-fact-vs-fiction/ Edited June 6, 2020 by Kirby Jackson 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t give a crap about working in insurance until I saw what the senior guys were making. I’m sure most lawyers don’t give a crap about law school. They care about the payout at the end. What’s the difference? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Such a bunch of absolute scumbags. What he meant was: "Please keep giving us your money. And don't stop." This guy would say ANYTHING to keep the golden goose happy and laying eggs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, if you ever dare venture to PPP, it is proof that college degrees aren't necessarily good indications of intelligence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
