However, from what I did read... YES WARB!!! Do it! Abandon your love of the NFL and follow college sports instead. More and more sports fans are doing that, and professional sports deserve to lose as many fans as are willing to venture elsewhere to have their needs fulfilled.

Forget that. The only sport truly free from this kind of shennanigans is the world of the WWE. There athletes get paid entirlely on the whim of the owner. Not only are they not a union, technically they aren't even employees, inelligible for health benefits.
