Former-NFL Players File Lawsuit Against the NFL Alleging Illegal Use of Painkillers B

Re: THE NFL is nothing more then overpaid drug addicts!

Yeah, let's blame the players strictly, despite the allegations centering around team management prescribing illegal drugs and dosages, in addition to glazing over the long term effects. Given your posting history I'd say your sentiment is based on something else altogether.
 
Re: THE NFL is nothing more then overpaid drug addicts!

You decide everything in life based on allegations?

Allegations? Hmmm did you note how many players came running out and saying this was all lies? Or maybe I am seeing the other 500 players also on the lawsuit that corroborate the filings.

Eh whatever the National Felons League sucks anymore anyhow. who cares actually

Yup the National Felons League of drug addicts! look no one forced these players to take the pain killers so yes they are just as guilty as anyone else.

The game is not the same as back ion the day when it was awesome. I will not miss the games one bit!
 
Re: THE NFL is nothing more then overpaid drug addicts!

The bigger issue is that the NFL is a racist,bigoted organization that discriminates against White athletes......

Actually the bigger issue is that the National Felons League has became just that a league of Felons. But hey if you can support the many criminals in the league go ahead i have had enough of it myself.

All the classy players have been replaced with less then reputable players. How bad is it well the league has been having to deal with all the criminal actions of the players with fines and game suspensions.

20 30 years ago ALL THE PLAYERS had class, but lately? NON

Sounds like a version of recency bias.
 
Re: THE NFL is nothing more then overpaid drug addicts!

I think they (the players) have a legit issue here. This isn't some black and white issue but one if the complainants can prove a the teams membership gave them drugs without a doctors direction and fostered an environment that those drugs could have created physical damage to these players after years of use - it seem reasonable to think the team did not have the players health in mind but winning, endorsements, TV viewership deals, a.k.a., money at the expense of the players health. Of course the team will say everything was done above board by trainers and doctors and that these players demanded these drugs so the players could continue to make in some cases, millions more on their contracts. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Yup you heard it here OVERPAID DRUG ADDICTS! glad my decision to quit watching the Felons League was a sound decision.

I am sorry, but you either love a sport or you don't. Painkillers, performance enhancing drugs, strikes, etc. etc. etc. might irritate but for me it can never make me stop watching that sport. I am a cycling fan, a sport that has been hit like almost no other sport with performance enhancing drugs, but now with cleaner riders the love for the game is still strong.

I love American Football a lot, it even comes close to soccer but I love watching the sport/playing fantasy football. And no amount of issues like this lawsuit or the head trauma issue will not stop me from watching it.

I read an article a while back saying that the older players involved in the concussion law suit were unhappy with the amount of money they were getting out of the deal. I wonder if this new law suit has any connection???

The players had the final decision making power, so they're mostly to blame

Really, By who's standards? I would really like to see proof of such a ridiculous statement

Since about 1989 the NFL only drafts 20-25% White players..........only one White player that I can recall has started at RB in a generation.........and that was only because 4-5 affroletes in front of him got hurt......it can't get much more racist than that.
 
Re: THE NFL is nothing more then overpaid drug addicts!

It's basically a money-grab by ex-players who squandered their fortunes and self-abused their bodies without even the tiniest bit of sense that using that many painkillers may be bad, addictive, etc.
 
Re: THE NFL is nothing more then overpaid drug addicts!

The players can kiss my azzzzz. They knew all along popping pills is just that and if they did not know how come everyone else including every person reading this thread. The age of "blame everything and everybody but me" is disgusting. No one is responsible for themselves any more as we see constantly in the sports world junkies on ESPN when the player get busted for whatever it is never quite their own fault. Somehow they always deserve a another chance and another chance and another chance. Let's concern ourselves with our wounded veterans that are getting screwed by the country they fought for and now are dying because the VA hospital are refusing to treat them in a timely manner. To hell with the drug addict NFL punks that never spoke up until they learned they stand a chance to make money off their stupidity. God bless our troops and screw the NFL players.
 
Re: THE NFL is nothing more then overpaid drug addicts!

You won't find another fan of Football than I, but this recent money grab is disgusting and purely reflective of the litigious monster our country has become. Until we stop electing legislators that are lawyers we will continue to bow down to proper legal reform.

Sickens me..

Because of one position? Racism only exist if one group is being oppressed. Ask guys like Manning and Brady if they feel oppressed, that's if they aren't too busy counting the nearly 20 million or so they make a year. If anything you could almost argue the other way around. Sure majority of players are black but look at coaches and executives only 2 black coaches and off hand I cant think of any black GM's.

But how many White RBs or WRs........it's clearly a racist league

Just because the leagues has a higher percentage of blacks than whites means nothing. Ask any white football player how hard life is for them. Every NFL player enjoys a higher standard of living than most. For what the league minimum is you can sign me up to be a tackling dummy on the practice squad any day of the week.
