What you say makes sense, so you suggest doing nothing for these guys? I don’t like someone else dictating my values. Maybe the teams and league will be embarassed into doing something more for those in need, and you can be a part of the change.

Yeah…I have to agree. It’s almost appalling for him to go to the fans and ask them for money.

Where’s Ochocinco? That guy is always trying to raise money for something. Where are all the players?

The more I think about this the more it pisses me off.

“My goal is to motivate the fans of the NFL to do their part. It’s time for NFL fans to step up and do the right thing. ”

Whatever. I hope he sent this same email to every current and multi-millionaire retired player too.

Barking up the wrong tree indeed.

I disagree…. They play football for a living… It’s a talent based profession no doubt however what have they done to actual contribute to society other than entertainment? Nothing… Granted I will say charities and what not that they donate to and raise is nice even play 60 is a great idea however they play football.. If they wanted a better retirement they should have become dentists.. But that’s just me being cruel and heartless towards someone who could have done something other than be famous and play with a pigskin.

I don’t understand this at all. Those with a financial interest in the NFL, players, coaches, owners, teams, sponsors, players association, former players, agents, and the league should do this. They make the money. As we all know, fans don’t make money going to football games. In fact, they charge us an arm and a leg for a beer. Fans are the only reason they have or have had jobs in the first place. Why now are we again asked to do what those who profit or profited from the sport should?

Kramer is a legend, but he is barking up the wrong tree.

This country cracks me up sometimes…we worship soldiers and football players as national heros and then simply toss them into the garbage heap after their careers are finished. Case in point- NFL PA should step up and handle this issue for retired players. Do they? Sort of…but really, let’s leave it up to us hard working American fans to continually pay the tabs for others and protect the NFL’s quarterly statements…AMERICA!

Maybe some of these idiot millionaires who play now can throw into this cause. God knows guys like Jerry are the reason their rich. Real men played football in those days and the premodannas should show their thanks.
