Multi-millionaires can't afford their own daycare, their own dietician, their own food on their day off? Good grief, how do us mere 5 figure employees manage to do all that stuff??? If a player really wanted a dietician/nutritionist to set up an individualized program, it would be far better to go to a private person for an individualized plan rather than the team having one dietitian to deal with 90 individual players. I love these guys, but talk about spoiled athletes (Across the league)

If "us mere 5 figure employees" had 32 businesses in the same field in our city we could work at, and 29 of the 32 businesses offered Pizza Fridays, coffee makers with free quality coffee, and individual cubicle AC settings... sure we could afford to buy ourselves pizza, coffee, and a sweater... but if you're a worker in one of the only 3 businesses that DON'T get that, you'd feel shorted. It is normal to want to have the same quality of life perks as the other >90% of workers in your field do if it's become the standard for people who do the same job as you.

You're both right: it is a petty thing to be angry over, however it IS the industry standard, so the players are justified in their pettiness.

Pally also hit it on the head: if you have players spending the extra hours in house, you should accommodate the bare minimum to meet the needs of those extra hours.

That one's a no-brainer and it's not petty.
