Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie is never one to mince words or think before speaking. In January he said, “You got our head union rep acting like an a-hole,†Cromartie added. “They got their guys acting like a-holes. So they just need to get their sh-- together and just get it done.†Now on his Twitter account, he has said something which will further infuriate the NFLPA: I hope all the top guys go to Radio City and get the experience as everyone else did. I think the fans that go radio city loves it. I'm speaking as fan and as a guy who got drafted. I couldn't wait till that day. Source: [email protected]
I'm actually not surprised Cromartie said this. But he is 100% right. These kids aren't exactly in the NFL yet and for the union to already tell them not to attend if there invited is just ludicrous.
he was also right when he said both sides were acting like buttholes and need to get their crap together and get a deal done
Now honestly, who would have thought Antonio Cromartie would be the first player to talk sense. Good on him though, wish more of the players would see the light.
The union has never told the rookies to NOT attend the draft in NYC, even Peterson said no one has contacted him about going or not going. These rumors are pathetic and made to make the NFLPA look bad.
really im sure the rumors came out of no where just like the rumors of them telling those rookies to come to their draft gathering instead. The NFLPA doesnt need others to make them look bad they do a good job of that themselves if you need an example go back to late 08 with that Exclusive rights deal with EA where they basically gave the rights to EA and screwed the NFL Alumni and the Alumni subsequently won a lawsuit against them for close to 30 million dollars. Dbag Smith wont meet with the NFL Alumni president or return his calls. Decertifying when it seemed like the owners where trying to negotiate. So i must say they do a damn good job of making themselves look bad
Yeah, lets jump on the Goodell bandwagon because the NFLPA hates vets...FREAK THAT...he's not any better then the NFLPA...and has players saying he's a liar and a blatant one at that...I have no idea why DeMaurice Smith doesn't want to meet with him, I'm sure he has his reasons like everyone else. Like my tagline says...I'm no Goodell lover.
im not on the goodell bandwagon i didnt even really mention him i just pointed out how the NFLPA makes itself look bad had nothing to do with goodell
It's virtually impossible to warm to either side in this argument. But it is nice to see for a change, someone who just comes out and says it like it is. Sort this crap out and get the deal done.
The NFLPA screwed the Alumni out of countless millions of dollars with that BS EA deal why would they trust the NFLPA at all when all the PA does is crap all over them and take advantage of them but then talk like they are the ones fighting for them. Dont get me wrong i dont want the players to get screwed but i do not like the leaders at the Players association. Demaurice Smith is a freaking idiot who is only out for personal glory right now. Kevin Mawae is a lying butthole who tried to garner sympathy that "oh its so hard to be the PA president you get blackballed from the league thats why i didnt get to play last year and then revealed he actually was offered a contract. Just get something freaking done.
