The Too-Little-Too-Late Strategy |
This has surely been an interesting week full of dialog on Dave’s Blog. In the end, no one would disagree that there are many points of view and opinions on how to solve the problem. Our focus has always been to keep it all open and transparent by giving everyone a voice on a platform that’s narrowly focused on Pension and Disability Benefit Reform and Medical Benefits after football. Think of it this way: Do you think you’ll be seeing any open discussions like this at either the NFL OR NFLPA’s websites any time in the future? Or will you expect to continue seeing more of the same, “Everything’s just fine – we’re all one team, one locker, one page. And maybe we should just forget about the past.”

While the cat’s away, the mice will play. There seem to be lots of conflicting public comments floating around these days. Since when did Miki Yaras-Davis become a spokesperson or advocate for retired players benefits and rights?

How time flies. It’s been over 6 months since NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell first announced his tour back in September to hear all about retired players’ grievances. (That story first appeared HERE.) You may remember that this tour was announced with great fanfare and press last year as Roger Goodell’s opportunity to speak and listen to the retired players across the country. If the reports have been accurate, it sounds like the Commish managed to visit a staggering 6 NFL cities out of a total of 32 teams (?!!) before all press releases stopped.

As most retired football players will wholeheartedly agree, getting qualified to receive benefits from the NFLPA/NFL’s Bell/Rozelle NFL Retirement Plan is a lot like winning the Lotto: If you win, you win big; but your chances qualifying are like a snowball’s chance in Hell.

Dear Congresswoman Sanchez:
The following statements made in the Congressional Report are totally unacceptable! The NFLPA and the NFL have an agreement in the CBA to determine the Total Projected Benefits for active and retired players on an Annual basis. This information should be readily available to the Congress. I have also requested it from the NFLPA Benefits Director and have received no response. (The bold and underlined sections are added by me for emphasis!)
