In defense of the owners

We all might be a lot richer if we didnt post on the carolinahuddle.com while at work. :D

Trickle down economics is a joke. That mentality has led us to a ridiculous disparity between the wealthiest and the poor in our country.

I completely agree..

I've never seen so many "have nots" defend the "haves" desire to be first in line to get even more

people yell about how great this nation is.. meanwhile we are cutting teachers jobs and simultaneous defending people getting bonuses who work for companies that had to get bailed out with tax payer money

The US is ranked 18th out of 36 nations in education (http://askville.amazon.com/United-States-rank-education-industrialized-nations/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=21721726), we import much more than we export... Sooner or later the guy coming in 18th place thats keeps shouting we're #1 starts to look foolish

the players should get every penny they can

Depends on how you define education and how those stats are accrued. There are tons of stats on how education and medical practice are ranked throughout the world, but the WHO and other institutes are not exactly forthcoming with their raw data.

On that note... any idea on how much the US spends on libraries compared to the rest of the world? Care to see how much of them are supported by evil rich people?

Would you like to know?

How do these people live?

Take back our league!!!

I dont get it, what's your point?? Why do these players deserve more money? If it wasnt for the owners capital and assets there wouldnt be an NFL. And if it wasnt for the NFL these goons would be working for 12$ and hour or be in prison, this whole thing is just ridiculous. It is legal to make money, I think some people forget that, all these players are just doing what lawyers and agents tell them to, greedy fugers cant be happy with 2 million a year and benefits for life? its a joke

so they owners are richer so they are wrong?

[Rhys]

Why do people try to achieve fairness? There is no fairness in this world. If there was was, our Panthers wouldn't suck so often!

This country used to admire rich people and hope to be one someday- not extort money from them because it's not fair!

Aww shucks, wish I coulda been smart n intelugant enuf to invent a chiken bizcut. Whewie wish I had a twoundred foot yot. I admaire JR and his mony, wowie wut a man!

Hey wait. Why can't we just admire the labor unions and hope to be in one someday?

[Kakarot]

Got damn! Two submarines!

And if it wasnt for the NFL these goons would be working for 12$ and hour or be in prison, this whole thing is just ridiculous.

KT may have a point...just saying

That can be true but I don't get what their possessions have to do with this. Are we supposed to be mad at them for having nice things? Do their large mansions make them devious or is it their character?

Not at all. I'm a libertarian capitalist and think that greed is good. or can be.

I'm just saying there are those who would say to the players 'you make all that money, you should take what ever the boss offers you.' Whereas in my opinion the owners are generally loaded, the nfl is making money hand over foot, and the owners are basically lying about it.

I know the article tries to make rich people evil, but I like rich.

The players were happy with the deal they had, they aren't the ones opting out. They are being to told to play more and make less and are fighting it like anyone would.

[Happy Panther]

They also don't get benefits for life
