I don't know who the author to this is, but Mike Nadel has a genius idea. Let's make the NFL miscreants who get suspended pick up the tab for the NFL retirees who have costly medical expenses. What a novel idea.
While football players play in the NFL they are the kings of professional sports, millions of dollars, fancy houses and really nice cars, but when they leave the NFL they become something much worse. They become the used, washed up, disfigured, permanently damaged has beens. The NFL does little to help the retirees who made the game what it is today, when they could do much much more.
This isn't like asking for a welfare check for a guy you don't know down the street, this is asking the NFL to not forget about those who paid their dues to make the NFL the sporting power house it is today. Nadel is absolutely correct when he states suspended players money should not go back into the Owners pocket. It isn't like he needs the money, and teams should learn a lesson with the troubled players they pick up, and not reap the rewards given for having suspended players on their team. This wouldn't be great for a long term solution, but it beats the hell out of what they have done so far.
