“And they should have as a lot as they’re asking for they usually deserve regardless of the NFL is giving them. It’s as a result of we all know what they do on daily basis. We know the way onerous it’s to play this sport. And it isn’t simply taking part in the sport of soccer, it’s the preparation and the way a lot their our bodies harm on daily basis.
“You look at guys like Duane Brown and George Fant and how much they’re sacrificing just to step out on the field. I think it is a giant punch in the gut to everyone, especially how outside of NFL circles, who just watch it and lack the actual empathy to put themselves in the shoes of these football players, and what they go through on a daily basis.”
