NFL corporate is full of scum. When they call u to license something the only thing they want is cheap. They make the studios look like 1969’s Elton John. When I quoted my price the dude actually said to me my quote was to high and I needed this because my clients career was in the toilet and any association with the NFL would increase his visibility. I said, well his visibility must still be strong enough for the NFL to call? He then went full on NFL and said they were considering many people and we would loose out. I said fine, have a good day. He called back the next day and took my deal. He never ever communicated with me again. It was all attorneys from then on. They think they are so fukin special. It’s not just the NFL. It’s the NBA, MLB and NHL too. Its the same with large corporations. The Gooberment has allowed big to get so powerful that little has no voice. I encourage every little company to remember this…..if a big company call just say no. They will call back and pay ur price. By the time they call u they have already made up their mind they want what YOU have. Don’t let them tell u otherwise.

I find it so hard to care nowadays. Seems like every superstar is switching teams every 2-3 years. Besides a few like Giannis and Curry

He also costs a cap-crushing amount of money which will eliminate the ability to fix other messes now and in future. Plus, he’s a loon.

With respects to your comments, you have to understand that there is a measure of Voluntary Participation when it comes to being a Professional Athlete of any distinction. Being a Professional Athlete is not the same as being a Fire Fighter or a Police Officer. While both have inherent possibilities for injury, by signing up to be a Fire Fighter or Police Officer you are accepting the very high possibility that you may become injured, but that is a JOB. However, there are many Professional Athletes that don't get injured at all. With the advent of the public knowledge of the possibility of CTE for NFL Athletes, it has been exacerbated by the ongoing perception that EVERY NFL Player has CTE when they retire. That perception is incorrect and is grossly misrepresented by public perception.
What the public should think of a Professional Athlete should be the same as an Independent Contractor, who is on a limited contract with a particular company. In so doing, the responsibility to manage and cover your Capital, Assets, Retirement, Taxes, & Healthcare are solely the responsibility of the individual's in question. As much as it would be cool for the Owners of the NFL to provide Life-Long Healthcare for the retired players, BUT one cannot overlook the weight of the Responsibility of caring for your own Money, Assets, Taxes, & Healthcare yourself prior to getting to the necessity for the NFL to pay for your healthcare in the first place.

Yep. And the core crew gets traveled in on corporate payroll, the skycam is on one, local professional crew is on a different one and then, the less skilled laborers are on their own one.
Saves companies assloads of money and none of these positions get benefits like they did 40 years ago when they had to be hired on.

Many, many, freelancers. Most of the steadicam and jib operators you see in the periphery of a sporting event own and operate those rigs, or work for very small specialized outfits that do.

And Kevin Durant sided with Kyrie instead of Harden. Don't forget that.

The NFL is fucking evil . It rarely cares about the human cost of the sport wether it is physical like the last two injury’s or mental with the repeat head injures that cause their players to have a terrible quality of life or become monsters that beat their wives and girlfriends.
We should really force them to take better care or their player . Honestly though fuck football it’s not worth the entertainment value knowing the meat grinder these men have to go though

Yep and put more effort into making the US Open Cup into a bigger deal.
Edit: Or have the conference champions go into a final.

When you look at the things KD’s done since golden state, you realize there was never a point in leaving golden state.
