Under paid ... hmmm.. Let's think about that a moment..
Just a quick poll, how many of you are actually paid in excess of half a million bucks a year? I don't know what position coaches are paid, but it ain't no minimum wage burger flipping salary. Do coaches have a union like the players and if not then why not?
I'm rarely going to side with ownership over labor being from good tree hugging, bleeding heart Bolshevik stock but there's usually two sides to every argument. In the case of the Bengals there doesn't seem to be an argument other than being cheep and wanting to keep every nickel , in other words the Bourgeoisie. The very same crowd working for the league it would appear, but this is never really made clear in the minds of the typical fan. Which side are position coaches on, labor or management? All the while players, who are allegedly on the side of labor almost never want to speak up on behalf of either side in this. They do occasionally, but not often. Nearly every quote from Bengals players runs the same line of 'I don't have anything to do with those decisions..' as if they're all terrified of saying what's on their minds and we as fans are left to make assumptions and try to play sidelines psychologists..
I suppose I could get real ambitious and dig up the information on just how these guys are paid and which side they come down on the argument of management v labor, but to be honest I really don't care as it doesn't matter one nit to me other than hoping that the current regime at the top all eat a really delicious meal laced with cyanide .
As far as "fake news" goes there is a concerted effort made by the people running the agenda that wants the public to be woefully unaware of everything going on that all news is fake news and nobody should ever trust a free press. One of the first groups attacked by despots and dictators is the press. It leaves those at the top able to dictate terms to everyone else. Keep that in mind.
