A Trip Down Memory Lane

Gene Hog Upshaw

Dear Gene,

For some strange reason, things seem to keep disappearing or changing, much like the rules. What happened to:

  1. The original Union website: NFLPA.org?
  2. The Truth Squad: They were supposed to unequivocally counter all those claims from the disabled retired players that don’t exist. Honest. (The truth will set you free.)
  3. The Great White Paper: Wasn’t it a violation of the retired players’  civil rights and/or HIPAA law for their union – the NFLPA – to post our medical information on a public website without their permission or knowledge?
  4. Information continues to completely disappear from the NFLPA replacement website, NFLPlayers.com. (Thank goodness for Google search because it may be deleted but NOT lost!)
  5. Another good example is that press release for the 4-page $240,000 spread for Gene Upshaw in Ebony Magazine. Where did that go?

Regards,
Dave & Heidi Pear
