The Gipper Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 This is just a case of the rich begetting the rich. Maybe the NFL would be willing to pay for you or I to also attend these seminars. Why couldn't these guys have taken these coursed in college? They could, but didn't. And FYI, kinesiology is the study of the body in motion. In other words, he majored in being an athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choco Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 how little we know.... ever hear of the Trade and Globalization Adjustment Assistance Act? its a very similar program for everyday americans who lose work to outsourcing and foreign competition. are they also wrong for taking provided retraining to be once again a productive member of the workforce? players may make millions, but they also pay taxes. the fact the NFL has a program to help reintegrate players into the work force is very commendable, since they have no experience or skills to work a real job.

And no, the NFL wouldn't pay for those seminars because we don't PLAY in the NFL. My girls company reimburses her for classes taken pertaining to her job. Do you want me to ask her boss if that is available for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombo That was my intent, to piss on it, to stir up a little bullshinola. I really don't have a problem with the program. Better than letting them rot the rest of their lives.
