I have no problem with the demands for extended health coverage

There are a lot of players that have long term health impacted by football that ever day employees in the business world don’t deal with.

Concussions, neck, back, knee probs etc.

Look at Luke Staley who has a hard time walking around.

I think COVID is an excuse to finally get better perks - which I have no problem with.

Of course they shouldn't be worried about it. Look at the data.

This is a calculated flexing of muscles by athletes.

Yes it is. But it's the type of stupid thing that would kill college athletics.
