With the 2015 NFL free agency set to officially start in a
few hours, I must say that I am sick and tired of these professional athletes
continuing to talk about that elusive Super Bowl ring.
Before I delve further into my frustration about the ring
talk, I truly understand why professional athletes chase the money. They have families to take care of and their
own wants and needs, etc. Trust me;
there is no loyalty between any employer (team) and employee (player) in today’s
work environment. Employees are just a
number to their employer, so you got to get yours while you can because as the cliché
goes, money talks.
Now back to my frustration about the ring talk. I hear too many players talk about chasing
that Super Bowl ring and I need to go where I have a chance to win. Hey, I know you’re lying because your lips
are moving professional athlete, look around your locker room! I’d say there’s a pretty good chance you are
closer to being where you can win than you think!
If you’re going to talk about chasing that ring and you are
with a team that is on the door step, remember, actions speak louder than
words. Restructure the contract, take a
reasonable pay cut, do something that backs up what you are saying.
I’m no expert on professional athletes, I’ve never played
any sport as a professional, I don’t know what situation professional athletes
are in and I’m not trying to draw the ire of social media. I just want the professional athletes to stop
the ring talk when it is obvious they are chasing the money. You get paid MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO
PLAY A GAME! Think about that, MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS TO PLAY A GAME!
Yours truly,
