J.C. Tretter

Let's get a plumber in there and fix it.

And when they're making these decisions about where they're going to spend potentially the rest of their career, they should know what they're getting into. I talked to a lot of guys as we did this survey, and I said like, hey, you know, your team's one of the worst graded teams. Did you know that before you signed? And they're like, no, and I got here and now I feel trapped.

The quality of care is poor and the facilities are poor and I'm stuck here.

Yeah, and again, most of our guys aren't making that. So you start looking for differentiators. And those guys, those minimum salary guys are the lunch pail hard hat guys of your team, the special teams guys, the offensive linemen, the backups that make the team work. Those guys are looking at it and saying, like, hold on, I'm going to get the same dollar amount from every team.

What are the other variables I can look at? And before it was, what do I think of the area, like the city, like how close is it to my family? And now it's like, hold on, I'm not going to go to a team that has weight room floors peeling up and charges me for dinner. I'm going to go someplace else.

My wife, my mom, my sister, my dad, they didn't come to games to tailgate and booze it up and cheer for the Cleveland Browns. They came to the game to make sure I walked off the field at the end. That, again, is J.C. Tretter, former president of the NFL Players Union. I understand the guys on the field are making a lot of money. Even the guys making minimum salary are making a lot of money.

That the guys out there making the owner hundreds of millions to billions of dollars for what they're doing on the field while taking all of the risk physically, the idea that their wife and newborn baby are sitting on the grimy floor of a public restroom breastfeeding is just preposterous to me. 18 of the teams offer family rooms, 14 don't.
