Daniel, A True Liberal. Maybe Socialist?

Whats up Daniel. First and foremost congrats on a great run in January. (excluding Australia of Coarse) You played great poker and had most of us cheering you on more then ever. Regarding the NFL blog, I can totally agree with your points. Now mind you that the NFL does do a great amount of Charity Work it usually is done through individuals or their teams. For a league that is the richest by FAR in North America they should definately step up and pay all the retired players what is Owed with regards to disability. I mean in Europe soccer players are treated the same even after they retire and get great pensions and even better Disability coverage. Daniel, Being Canadian myself I think you have the alot of Liberal Views when it comes to Equality, Justice and Capatilism. I totally agree with Competition and teh NFL has None by far. The owners know that the product is so great that they will always make a sick amount of CASH. I am sure there is enough to spread around to retired players. Especially with disabilities. The owners would never get away with that if they were in Canada, Sweden or Great Britian. Sometimes Capatilism allows the Very Rich to Screw over the poor. My 2 Cents.PS.

good post, the nfl should show some gratitude to the players that broke their back to make the nfl what it is today

I come[came] from the part of Canada where the poor get screwed over by 15% sales tax on top of the 40% tax rate.Its capitalism for the government ;)Give up 48% of your Christmas bonus every year before you get too in support of our government system.

You realize that money taken for taxes is going to fund social programs like health care, education and others right? Gov't programs do not just appear out of this air, citizens have to be taxed to pay for these services. In the united states your father would'nt even get knee surgery if he could not pay for it, let alone the cost of medication would be disgusting. On top of that if your father did'nt make great money you would not be able to a quality school and get an education if you could not afford it. In Canada our public schoools provide a solid education whereas in the United States if you do not have money your education is poor and you will not be able to afford a top notch college or high school so you are born at a disadvantage to a rich kid. Get my point? You can go to a country and pay hardly any taxes, but if you happen to get an injury and can't get any work, welcome to the street my friend

It's pretty obvious that you have no clue about America and what it is.

I think the silkyjonson sums up America pretty well actually. But as for the OP, DN maybe socialist? Wtf? Do socialists play poker and take money from people who could have gambling addictions?
