[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 909238, member: 4199"] Is it dead? Probably. Should it be? Probably. They are highly paid, yes, but this is still a job and their employable years are limited. I suspect you'd see less nashing of teeth and perceived slights if the league were less likely to cut players early and otherwise do a better job of taking care of their players. In short, players are not loyal because the league is not loyal. This is similar to the difference between boomers and millennials in the "normal" job market. Dad (boomer) is 70 and retired. Other than some goofy stuff at the end of his career, he worked two jobs since he graduated college. ~45 years, 2 employers. He's got a pension. I (millennial) am just shy of 40. My first three professional jobs/post-college jobs were each 4 years and out--almost to the day. I could hop, get a promotion and more money. No pension, no reason to stay. [/QUOTE]
