I listened to Phil Simms on the Showtime NFL show talk about how unfair the $50,000 fine being given to players for head-head hits. His reasoning is that it was unfair to penalize the players making the minimum NFL salary the same as the higher earners because it would take them 3 games to recover the amount.
It was an astonishing comment given today’s environment 50+ million Americans without health insurance, millions more without jobs, and millions who barely make $50,000/year. I am certain that there are millions of people who would trade their current life to take a $50,000 fine that they can make up in 3 games.
