it is unamerican to not let them "capitalize" on there hard work and talents.

This is the argument that always cracks me up, LOL

Since when is playing a game or having a contest considered hard work?

There was a report done on how much time is actually spent playing the game compared to commercials, huddles, injuries, etc, and the report concluded that NFL players spend roughly 6 and a half minutes on the field per game, if I can find that report again, I'll post it

Now if you want to talk to people who actually do, do hard work, then talk to the Policeman, the Ambulance Drivers, the Soldiers, the Construction guy's, plumbers, hair dressers, housewives, teachers, grocery clerks, cashiers, doctor's, lawyers, judges, etc, etc, etc..... Those are hard workers, Football players don't even come close to being a hard worker compared to the people who actually do work for as living.

Football players are handed a free education, to play a game, and then they don't even know how to spell their name correctly when they get out of school, because someone did their homework for them, just so they could play a GAME, then they are handed Millions of dollars, if they make it to the NFL, just to play a game,

As for the Colleges make millions of dollars off the football games, you know who is at fault there, it's us idiots that are stupid enough to buy tickets, to buy the shirts, the hats, etc...., and the funny part is, almost all of these colleges, receive State and Federal money to operate, and here is where the double whammy comes in, that money that comes to the States and Feds for the school to operate, is money they collected from us in the form of taxes, so is that fair?
