V, I don't, and I suspect no one else, disagrees with your remarks.
But is all this about the football players really any different than
what several/many other corporations do with respect to their employees ?
e.g., vermiculite workers in Libby MT coming down with asbestos-related lung disease;
workers involved with radioactive materials; organic pesticides; etc.
In these situations too, we say the employment is "voluntary".
Unfortunately, there is not the public involvement nor the
player-unions, etc with lots of $ to confront the sports team owners.
*rant: But don't let anyone take away your "right to work" or you
may be not be "protected", and you may "forced" to join a union
Quote:
A Right to Work law secures the right of employees
to decide for themselves whether or not to join or financially support a union.
However, employees who work in the railway or airline industries
are not protected by a Right to Work law, and employees who work
on a federal enclave may not be.
