Might as well be TrashBook with the stupid comments that I read from some posters around these boards (that I have been posting to since they were created). Much love to those who KNOW WHAT THE SPORT OF FOOTBALL IS and show a little respect to those who put themselves in danger for our amusement. KUDOS TX! At least you understand.

g-dawg Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I am so sick of hearing stories, articles and opinions about "Atlanta Fans".First each person is their own "fan"......each fanbase has thousands of fans and all are different. these stories are ridiculous.

These guys don't do anything that any of us wouldn't do in the same situation.Playing for pennies...mm. Right.A tiny 500K a year rookie contract is about twenty times what I make in the Navy in a year, serving my country. Give me that much money to go play the game I love for less than half of a year and I'll say yes every time. I'd go break my leg (literally) for that much, if that's what it came down to. So don't give me this "poor ol misunderstood player" garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In England the papers always talk about footballers wages being £100k a week while a nurse is on £25k a year but its such a stupid arguement that bares no correlation to reality. Supply and demand.

It's too easy to have a romance about sports rather than the truth that's its a highly skilled job that pays accordingly. Personally $500,000k a year so I can have dementia when I'm 40 isn't for me.
