What a Tuel Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 Key words are "They have to buy the gear they want to keep". Why would an NFL player get to take their helmet/uniform for free from the company they work for? I also am in the being on any NFL team is an accomplishment camp. Hell if I am Ryan Fitzpatrick, I am having a spiffy helmet for every damn team I was on in an man cave / office / or hallway display in my home. Quote

Came off Parris Island with $600 bucks in my pocket after three months of hell. I later learned they deducted everything... Soap, unis, shaving cream, etc. And this was 2001. Not the 70's. It's petty when these dudes make millions, but that kind of puts it in perspective. Expand We still get annual clothing allowances which pay for uniform items so we don't pay for those items after boot camp which helps! This woman needs to understand basic math.... he made $1,468,747 in total and the cost of the uniform is over $1,000. This is the same BS that makes me mad when millionaire and billionaire business people whine and cry about taxes when it's a tiny fraction of some ridiculous amount of money.

947 Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 Having to pay for the helmet I understand, the Riddell Speedflex that most NFL players use are $500. Helmets can be used multiple seasons, even if it's by another player. But the jerseys surely aren't re-used the next season, why not just let players take those? Quote

Expand McDonalds is good that way. But even there I'm told they have to buy their own non-slip shoes (can have them deducted from paycheck) and sometimes pants. A friend's kid recently applied for a bunch of chains, and many of them required the kids to pay for their own shirt, non-slips, etc Quote

Now if you were commenting on people saying expecially instead of especially I'm with you. Every generation does things with pronunciations and such, you just notice it because you're not talking that way because you are no longer cool my man (don't worry, neither am I). 1 Quote
