Gene Upshaw threatens retired player.

[Daseal]

His comments are inexcusable no doubt, but people are riding him a bit hard, in my opinion. He's the leader of the NFL PA. This is the union for CURRENT PLAYERS. If you want to see more support to NFL vets, go tell current players to give up money and see what happens. Upshaw has said multiple times his job is to work for the current players and would love to do something for the retirees, but if the current players don't want it, it will not happen.

Doesn't matter if the Union is for current players, only punters or for just players over 400 pounds...that's how how the leader of a professional organization should act.

I wonder how Goodell will look at Upshaw's stupid comments.
