Well it is called cardiac arrest medically speaking, but I get your point, but death has a very different connotation

Laughs in Dan Snyder

The NFL doesn't employ players. The NFL has around 100 employees and is listed as a small business.

I don’t care if HE’s high when he makes his decision, I just hope the JETS aren’t high enough to blow up their cap situation in the mistaken belief that the only thing between them and the Lombardi Trophy is old-ass Aaron Rodgers.

He’s already done ayahuasca.

A heroic dose of shrooms will be very similar to a DMT trip with more control/escapability, faculty, and “consciousness”.

He's rich. It'll be ayahuasca.

I saw that video clip and it was just so . . . idk. It was like a flurry of conflicting emotions, super sad but also super happy. Awful but amazing. Beautiful but devastating. Like some real life miracle shit.

Unfortunately this has been an ongoing issue that has been in place since the 70's. The owners have always side stepped this issue, because if they face it head-on there's no way to avoid that the players activity while playing football for their team caused said long-term injuries.

What people don't realize is that the Owners have taken a very cold perspective on this issue, and it has a level of merit in some ways. What the Owners are not saying is that they believe the Player was compensated in such a manner that they should easily have the funds to cover their Medical Issues. However, even though they were paid very well during their time playing for their respective Teams that they, the Owners, should now be responsible for their Long-Term Health for the rest of their Life's as well.

The true ugly reality is that it is unfortunate that so many Ex-Players have squandered their Money over time, and end up Broke 5-10 years after playing professional Football. Therefore, is it really the responsibility of the Owners to provide Life-Time Health coverage for each and every player that ever played for each team? What company do you know that does that...None.

They’re not

What a tool

Dude’s gonna take a heroic dose of mushrooms and figure it out.

nice

Nearly all of the profit just gets passed on to the individual teams, who pay their own taxes on it.

I was actually just looking up wich records Drew Brees still has. Most games with 300+ yards and 400+ yards are 2 that Brees still has and mahomes is WAY above pace to catch both. With another 10 years assumed in his career and keeping his current pace he will destroy both those records easy.

But yeah Tom's longevity records are probably untouchable. mahomes won't play til hes 45

Mahomes has a long way to go to catch up with Brady in wins, passing yards, TDs or rings. He might do it but the longevity free of injuries is a big wildcard. Not to mention player turnover and Andy Reid won't be around forever. PM has all the ability in the world but if you had to bet money that mattered, the safe bet would be against him achieving most of those records.

I'm really out of the loop, but knowing the NFL intentionally gave up tax exempt status and is paying 10mil in taxes on 10billion a year revenue, that doesn't make me feel much better..

It's the belt and suspenders philosophy of bribery.

Same reason all religions are exempt?

Too late, they gave up tax exempt status and will take advantage of the fact that as a private company, they can now keep all their affairs private: https://www.brysonlawfirm.com/news/122-touchdown-pay-up-nfl-is-a-nonprofit-no-more.html

American football is a religion brother

Why are they still tax exempt?

The NFL needs to lose its charity exemption, purposly drags its feet thru red tape they put out, take a large portion of events it supports (at least up til recently) such as cancer research and the military, then uses pressure to force cities to 'loan' money for new stadiums without ever planning to pay back..

Bane is the headliner
