Re: R.I.P. Dave Duerson

How does a player get unfairly pressured into participating ?
If the coach says show up and practice, you show up and practice.
If the boss says get to work, you get to work....
Sound like union coddling mentality to me.

Coach to Player......fine you have a boo-boo go sit the bench and we'll take that young rookie and see if he wants a job?

Are you familiar with the so called voluntary work outs and offseason training program? You know the ones that is not obligatory but if anyone one player misses they get slammed first by the coaches in the press, then by the press, then the fans and the player that misses a VOLUNTARY workout is called a malcontent. Sound at all familiar?

Sounds like owner double talk to me. First the owners and commissioner claim to be really concerned about player concussions and head trauma, but then they want to add two more regular season games, because $9 billion dollars a year revenue is not enough?
Some people don't understand how billionaires could demand an additional $1 billion in concessions from players whose careers last an average of just three years, and suffer an assortment of degenerative joint and brain injuries.
