Anti-Rep.

That's the responsibility of the players union. Direct the comment to Fehr rather than Goodell.

Further demerits for putting that comment with a suggestion for eliminating the fashion police....which employs former players.

Former players aren't covered by the union.

The Union negotiates retirement benefits, but only to a point - as it benefits CURRENT players. Old-time-players had nothing, and the union had no reason to negotiate on their behalf - as they weren't paying any dues.

Mid 70's is when the Union finally had some bargaining position.
