I still wonder where Gene Upshaw would have sat in this hierarchy? Probably alongside Goodell, dumping on everyone else underneath them.
Why did the NFLPA Leadership rename their building “Upshaw Place”?
Why did the NFLPA Leadership rename the dire need fund to the “Gene Upshaw Dire Need Fund”?
By his own actions, Gene Upshaw had proven himself to be a charlatan and a thief.
The language in the court that the jurors found the NFLPA Leadership to be guilty of in the Players Inc. trial included such phrases as “malicious and oppressive conduct with evil motive” and “conduct that was outrageous and grossly fraudulent.”
What about Upshaw’s dog food reference he made to the New York Times about the marketability and demand for the images of retired players in the Madden Video games? He said, “We could have the greatest dog food in the world but if the dogs don’t like it, we can’t sell it. Put that at the top of the story.”
Or what about threatening to break a former player’s neck?
He even publicly stood behind a “Federal Law” that turned out to be nonexistent. How did Upshaw ever get away with this outrageous behavior?
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it IS a duck! And ALL these ducks hang out in the same pond and are all “guilty by association.”
If you want to know who a person really is, then LOOK at who his friends are and there you will find the answer.
