I would as well.

Players from a couple of decades ago did not earn the bling that players make today. I feel no sympathy for a guy who pisses away is fortune living the high life instead of preparing for life after football.

I'm more concerned with the NFL taking care (medically) of the players from yester year. They helped make the league what it is today.

I can't fully disagree with that as healthcare wasn't a big concern back then. However, the salaries they made back then were still quite a bit better than the average Joe out there. Players were still making around double what a normal person was making back then. It still comes down to fiscal responsibility, IMO.
