yep, people keep saying he is a seasoned player and he is not, tony gonzalez is an amazing player, and he has proved himself time and again, we need to give gates the opportunity to show us what he can do, but we should not be paying him what the seasoned players are getting, that was my point, I still think that it is ridiculous what these men are getting payed, but hey I am just a woman with a love for the chargers rofl so yeah I am biased anyways

Gates has played one season, how is that saying he is a great player?

they are getting millions of dollars to play a GAME, and to the post that the game is more dangerous than the average persons job, that is BS, look at the men that bust their humps everyday to drive a truck across the country, and the men and women who serve our country, or even the men and women that work in mines???? there being a football player is not a dangerous job in the least compared to the "working stiffs"

see the sad part here is that these sports were played for a long time because the players themselves actually loved the game and wanted to play, not because of money at all. I think that if any player thinks that by holding out he is going to get more money he is being ridiculous. It is his choice to hold out, but the chargers also have the choice as to whether they can just keep him on the bench and not let him play. No matter their status or their playing ability, they should realize that the sport is just that, a sport, it is entertainment, it is not something that is needed to survive your daily life. The players need to get off their high horses and realize that they are making more than the average person to begin with and be happy with that.

Chargers threaten to suspend Gates if holdout continues
I never said it was okay for anyone to be getting Millions of dollars for football, that was not my intention what so ever, I was just giving my opinion... everyone has one
