One big problem is that the fans - remember them? The people whose money pays for EVERY ******* thing - don't appreciate being lectured to by a bunch of over-paid, low IQ jocks.
If these overgrown assholes want to "protest" let them do it when they're NOT working. The dumb fuckers are paid to entertain fans through their ability at sports - they're NOT being paid to whine.
If they want to act like spoiled little crybabies, they should quit the NFL and go join Jesse Jackson, or one of the other professional whining clowns.
