Puncture An NFL defensive lineman complained about his pay last month in an interview about the threatened lockout / strike next season. Something about greedy owners. This guy is paid millions for sacking quaterbacks fewer times than once a game. They are calling this a fight between millionaires and billionaires.

Patch We are paying these guys by purchasing game tickets, watching television, and building stadiums. We should do something about this. So, I decided to not support the madness.
