NFL STRIKE!

I know I'm not the best mathemagician or adder-upper in the house, but please try to help me understand something.  There's lots of talk about the NFL players going on strike.  What are they striking for?  Are they striking for better working conditions?(they play a game)  Are they striking for better living conditions?(probably not a big factor)  Are they striking for fairness and equality of treatment for all the support staff? (hahahahahaha.  That one made me laugh)  Are they striking for money? (probably, since the average NFL player salary is still, in this day and age, under $1million per year)

That's right folks.  The average NFL salary is just under $1million dollars per year.  How are these poor boys supposed to survive on that?  That'll barely buy diapers for the illigitimate kids!  Hell, I'd walk out too!  If they can't afford to pay these guys at least $4million per year, why bother even trying?  (don't forget, the $1million also includes all the guys that sit on the bench, or hold clip-boards, or wipe boogers on their teammates when they come off the field)  This is insanity!  These guys work (er, play) hard for their money!  For heaven's sake, football season lasts nearly 6 months!  I protest!  Get Jerry Jones on the line.  I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind!  Plus, wouldn't this be the 3rd time they've gone on strike?  Isn't it 3 strikes and you're out? (we could only wish)

Think I'm gonna walk out too!  Tell my boss to kiss my butt!  I'm not gonna be working here for the good paycheck I get every week.  Or the job security in the current economic situation we're in.  I'm telling him to screw off if he thinks I'm willing to work under 50 hours per week anymore!  I don't need this crap!  I can sit on my ass at home and make money off my endorsements! (currently Speed Stick and Captain Crunch with Crunchberries) (not really) (wouldn't it be AWESOME to endorse Captain Crunch though? All the cereal you can eat!) 

Oh, and as far as the health care coverage, screw that too!  I already owe every hospital in town!  What are they gonna do, put all the bad parts back in?  And while I'm at it, keep the company truck too!  You think you can get away with paying people a good wage?  I'll show you! 

By a show of hands, how many people would like to make $1million dollars a year working 60 hours a week?  Now, how many of you would like to make $1million dollars a year for working (playing) 6 frickin months?  If this really happens, I hope not another NFL game ever gets watched.  I hope every one of the dumb-asses who are going to strike get to get a job working as a roofer, in the middle of Ozona, during the month of August.  Or have to drive that truck around that cleans out the porta-potties.  In August.  In Ozona.

I know that they say the reason they get paid a lot is that their careers are so short.  Got news for them.  Theres a lot of folks in Iraq & Afghanistan whose careers will be a lot shorter.  And they don't make $1million per year!
