Nice. The minimum salary for a player in the NFL is $230,000.00. That's for rookies. The average number of years of experience for a player in the NFL is 5 years. The minimum salary for a player with 5 years of experience is $540,000. Now, which of you would say that these players need cash government help?

If you think these people do not need government cash, you are not qualified to be a judge in North or South Carolina. You see, numerous judges in those states think that the state worker compensation funds should be used to pay those players who are injured.

Yes, that's correct -- the judges are ruling that just because someone signs a contract for employment as a professional football player, they do not give up "their rights to worker compensation."

I'm sorry, I missed that right. Tell me again how and why someone is entitled to money simply because they were injured? Rolf Blizzard says it best:

"Is that what workers' comp was intended to do?" he asked. "It really is a fundamental question of what you think workers' comp should be."
