Congresswoman Linda Sanchez Shares Her Thoughts on NFL Retired Players
Posted January 30th, 2009 by RetiredPlayers
Congresswoman Linda Sanchez wrote a piece for The Huffington Post and says through NFL Films the National Football League continues to profit from the retired players who are denied disability benefits. The congresswoman chaired a hearing on NFL retired player benefits, but thinks not much has changed since then. She will continue to look for ways to address the problem and hopes by next years Super Bowl that we can celebrate active and retired players both getting a fair deal.
I’ve spent the past seven years of my life dealing with this issue. I know that I have to move on but it’s very difficult when you know you are being screwed. I’m happy that we, former players, are coming together like we know how!!
