Summary

Mike Freeman of USA Today has written a piece urging NFL Fans to understand that NFL players are only human. I love when media people, who make their living covering a sport, judge the fans of the sport. Of course, our friend here wants you to know that legalized gambling has led to more NFL players being dehumanized. This is prime June content.

All right. Well, here's a headline for you from USA Today. Busted, oh, my story went away,

0:06.6

you son of a bitch. Headline reads, a reminder that NFL players pay a price for football life.

0:14.6

Busted knees, a fractured throat, don't forget harsh price NFL players pay. Sure.

0:22.2

But they also get paid a lot of money to do it and made the choice to play.

0:27.6

Like I'm just, I'm fascinated by how there's always these like sympathetic stories about how athletes end up broken down and injured from playing football.

0:35.6

Well, you made a choice to play football,

0:37.8

friend. Just like someone chooses to be a cop, like there are no jobs you are forced into.

0:43.3

I've never done before and may just be a menial nine to five type job that I'm doing because I need

1:33.5

to make ends meet, I'd much rather be doing something I enjoy that still has some upside over a

1:39.0

menial nine to five or right. But I made this choice. As I sit here today and do not have a job, I do not have a job

because I have chosen to continue looking for a radio job instead of sitting around and trying

1:52.4

to find something else or actively trying to do something else that I don't want to do.
