You know what might have been a great gesture on the part of the NFL Players Association

To, you know, stand uo for their union brothers with this right to work crap they passed just last week in Indiana...

After all, the Super Bowl is being played in Indiana.

It would be great if some of the big time Unions, NBA has a team in Indiana, to voice solidarity with workers.

They could really fuck things up for the whole country by refusing to play in states where they have right to work laws.

Just thought I would bring that up....

but the lure of glory and money is probably too great. And there are probably a lot of players who believe that they are Randian entrepreneurs.

They have crossed picket lines many times to play games. Once in KC but offered a "donation" to the union. They do not give a shit about real unions.
