10. Too many of these football players are.
Same goes for pro athletes in general. Unfortunately, the reality is the money they are paid makes them part of the elite class. These millionaires were some of the first to benefit from *'s tax cuts for the wealthy. They know who butters their bread.

I try to separate my political views from sports. I'd rather not know what they think. If I did I would probably hate so many of these guys I wouldn't ever be able to enjoy watching the games. The reality for me is I love pro sports - and football in particular - for the beauty of the game itself, even if the players are ridiculously overpaid and many of them are freepers and fundies. What I don't know won't hurt me on this one.
