And we are workers and we're fighting for the same things. And I think that's one of our struggles as a union because of our short lifespan where somebody comes into a union job And they can make sacrifices and bargain a certain way because they have the opportunity to be in that job for 30, 40 years. So sacrificing for today, they're going to see the fruits of that labor.

That's not always true for us. So the sacrifices one group makes, they're probably never seeing the benefits of those sacrifices. But when it comes to the negotiating, there is a pie out there. And I think your job as an individual or as a union is to get the biggest share possible. I have to say, you can really sound like an old-fashioned union agitator when you need to.

The top three teams... all have brand new facilities. When we talk about facilities, I think sometimes the fans don't understand how different franchises work. So everybody thinks of their stadium. So like the Rams and the Chargers were poorly ranked. And you heard a lot of questions of like, whoa, SoFi Stadium's brand new. They put billions of dollars into it. How is it poorly ranked?

That's not where players spend their days. That's where they play for one day a week. But their facilities are usually located elsewhere.

Yeah, if teams do get new facilities, right? Like some of these teams have had old facilities forever. So who are the top three teams in the Players Union survey? Top three teams are Minnesota was number one, Miami was number two, and Las Vegas was number three.

No, and that's the thing. Like, having a star quarterback like Patrick Mahomes is the ultimate deodorant, whether it's talent around him or facilities or coaching. He's going to make everybody look good because he is that freaking good as a quarterback. But that doesn't mean the offerings shouldn't be up to snuff. It shouldn't be, hey...

come here to play with Patrick Mahomes and potentially win a Super Bowl, but also the facilities are going to be old and dilapidated and you have to deal with that, that shouldn't be the trade-off. Just pay for better facilities. If you're making so much money, the idea of making it a choice of one or the other when you could just provide both doesn't make much sense to me.
