The Pittsburgh Steelers’ schedule was announced yesterday. As I said earlier today, I’m not real happy about it.
Yesterday we posted an article about certain members of the Steelers organization expressing their dissatisfaction over the fact that they have been scheduled for the second season in a row—after never having down so in their history prior to then—for a game on Christmas Day.
Many responses came in the form of apathy, essentially asking why I should care that a player being compensated millions of dollars—or at the very least several hundred thousand as the minimum—doesn’t want to work on the holidays, even while so many other people in so many other walks of life who are compensated far less are asked to do the same.
