Madden 25 Scrubs Aaron Hernandez From Existence

Try telling unionized employees they are going to be making drastically less even while the company has record profits. See how well that works for you.

It wouldn't go well certainly, partly because of human greed and all that. Part of the problem is that it's such an absurdly profitable industry. Even if you cut salaries all around, there's just a ton of money floating around and everyone is going to want a cut. Could people perhaps be convinced to take cuts to salaries in exchange for the removal of the release clause and that what would be their money goes to some kind of charity/research foundation?

The league already donates a huge amount to Injury Research and Prevention and Concussion studies. In a perfect world, that would be a solution.

Problem is that no one wants to take that pay cut. Not while owners pocket 40% of everything. Plus the players worked to this point to finance everyone who is with them, not just themselves. Several players make millions of dollars, and still go paycheck to paycheck because they feel the need to finance their families, their friends, and the friends of their families.

Ah, yes, executive pay... The great sticking point of all financial debate...

Could the contracts be negotiated to just include all relevant parties from the start? It avoids the mythos of the "Overpaid Athlete" and gets everyone financed from the get go.

I feel like I should return this conversation to the topic at hand, but I think everyone's already spoken their piece, and I prefer problems that can actually be dealt with in some way. The court system in the U.S. is self-determining, so nothing we can say on that front changes anything.

There's texts, there's security footage, everything points towards him.

I guess we'll make an exception in this case. No need for a court because "everything points towards him".

Let's fire him from his job, take all his stuff, disavow him and I'll go prep the electric chair.

Um, it was I who wrote that, not debrarrzn. And also, that's not what I wrote really, you're kinda taking it out of context. What I wrote was this:

OK, from what I've heard it doesn't look good for Hernandez. There's texts, there's security footage, everything points towards him. However, there doesn't seem to be any solid evidence that he did it and I really think things are getting out of hand right now. Let there be a trial first, then judge.
