Well… I don’t know what it was like before my time in the NFL… But I know that literally since a week after I got drafted, at my rookie symposium listening to Demaurice Smith speak for the first time, all the way through now.. the NFLPA has been led by people who would much rather be known that they’re the heads of the NFLPA than actually work and act like they are the heads of the NFLPA. These dudes think they’re celebrities. These dudes think they’re powerful. These dudes live lives of luxury using the connections that the players and the league have worked their asses off their entire lives for… and then these dudes hire all of their friends, overpay them with the players’ money, and act like they’re the hero thru it all. The NFLPA needs a dawg that knows business and generating/creating capital and not just lawsuits running the NFLPA. We need people that have empathy for the players who play in the NFL and don’t just view them as an annual fee. We need creative negotiators and innovators. The league and the game are in an amazing place. The players of our sport have committed more of themselves to it than ever before. The public’s adoration of the product is higher than any league has ever had in the history of sport. EVERYBODY wants to do business with the NFL, the players should be seeking to be doing that as well. MONEY, PROTECTION, AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE PLAYERS. That’s the gig.
