On Fox & Friends this morning, it was stated that they wanted to keep their pension plan, and not change to a 401K plan....if that is true....

In all honesty- I don’t blame them....I would have more faith in my future retirement checks coming from the NFL instead of depending on those checks depending upon the future of our stock market.....

I fear our 401K will be devastated by the way the FED and our gov’t are handling the dollar.......

these refs are NOT gov’t employees....they are not paid with money forcefully taken from my paycheck or at a register when I make a purchase......

Entitlement is entitlement, whether it is by way of government or by the free market. I am entitled to nothing from anybody and it is high time that people begin to realize that in their own regard. I say fire them and let the replacements hone their skills to a new level while accepting whatever it is the NFL feels it is in their resources to offer.

With that said, the NFL also has to play under as do the networks and down to the advertisers considering the same free market rules. Sure the NFL thinks it has a monopoly on professional football but they can screw the pooch just as anyone and soon be playing second fiddle to the SEC if they disregard the end game, the customer.

I hate to break it to you but even private pension plans are invested in the stock market. It's not like the NFL keeps pension money in a "lock box"
