Players' Union Says "No" to Needles

NFL executives have proposed a plan to the NFL Players Association for HGH testing and the Players' Association isn't O.K. with the athletes being blood tested. HGH is merely a rule violating substance that would enhance players' ability to perform their job. I can't see why the league would be so against it. And, blood testing? OMG! Needles are inhumane! How dare the employers of million dollar athletes want to make sure that their employees are playing by the rules!

I am a server at a "fine dining" establishment. My job is to serve our guests and make them happy. Now, I could better perform this major task of my job by giving the guests free food. I could slip the 15 year-olds some shots of Jager and maybe dribble some Viagra in Grandpa Ricky's coffee; get them all riled up. They'd be a happy bunch and they'd certainly come back again. (especially Grandma Jean) Hell, I'd be happier during work if I downed a few Rum-and Cokes before clocking in.

And, if my manager asks if I'd been drinking, I'll tell him that the Servers' Union would prefer him to email me any questions he has about my substance abuse. Face-to-face questioning is not desired.

Unions were created to protect employees from their employers' unethical practices, protect mothers from losing their jobs while they're squeezing out future generations of unneeded younglings, and to ensure that 9 year olds aren't getting paid 25 cents an hour to perform manual labor. (even though the lack of manual labor in preteens is what's wrong with today's generation)

Unions shouldn't be created to protect multi-million dollar athletes from following the rules set forth by their employer who's paying them millions of dollars.
