What the NFL needs
A really eloquent player that will step up into the spotlight and debate the issue surrounding the whole T. O. debacle. There
is another side to the story and the argument is a LOT better than anything these players are saying so far. Stupid shit like "It's for my family," or "I'm the best in the league," or "The owners are greedy" just doesn't cut it if you want to be in the fans' good graces.
We don't want to hear that shit.
Now, if I knew anything about the NFL and actually followed it, I could play devil's advocate and create a little press release right here. A simulation type of thing. But I'm not real familiar with the way things work, so I can't.
Maybe something about the way players are treated once they stop producing, how they are viewed as pawns in a chess match and not as people.
Something, and it has to be well spoken, eloquent, that will allow the fans to see the other side. Because it
is there, and it's a lot more sophisticated than "I love me some me."
