I threw away half a burrito I didn't like yesterday because I thought it taste like shit. What do you think a starving person in Africa would have said if they saw me do that? They'd probably be saying I'm a spoiled ass American.
Our company has free soda for employees to take. They recently switched to generic soda "Big K/Faygo" and the backlash was insane.
The fact of the matter is that a lot of NFL teams offer better meals/nutrition/child care. It's become the norm and expected. The Bengals need to step their game up.
What the rest of the league does doesn't really negate how I feel, I feel like they are spoiled across the league. It's a really bad look for the NFL in an economy like this where people are struggling to pay for groceries, for multi-millionaire athletes to be whining about free daycare and free meals. Talk about tone deaf to the state of the nation! While I'm not the least bit surprised at the athletes, I am very surprised the NFL even let this nonsense become public.
