NFL Lockout

I have come back to my blog after two years off just to say this. I am so tired of the NFL owners and players. I love football and I will miss it if they don't play, but listening to the back and forth is driving me crazy.
I am shockingly more disappointed with the players than the owners. I honestly don't care that both sides want more money. I don't care that they are both being stubborn. I DO care that they would try and get the fans support for their childish argument.
Drew Brees is one of my favorite players because of his talent and his character. However, reading his tweet telling NFL fans to not trust the owners just angered me. Then Adrian Peterson came out and said that the owners were stealing from them. I want to make this very clear to all the NFL players out there. I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE! Most people don't. Actually most people just think you make too much money. So please stop complaining to us about how you are getting lied to and ripped off.
The truth is that most NFL players make more in a year than my whole family will in our lifetimes. If they want more money, I'm ok with that. I just don't want to hear about the injustice that is happening to you.
Anyways, the owners aren't even taking the players hard earned money. They are taking the money from us . . . the fans. If Drew or other players want to win the fans over, then demand that the owners lower the price of tickets. Go and give some of your jerseys away. We pay too much money to watch you play a game so please stop complaining. Argue with the owners. Get your share. Just don't expect any sympathy from the rest of the world.
