These are college kids. They have been waiting their whole life to make the NFL. They only get to walk on that stage once and shake the commissioners hand. It's memories for a lifetime. How incredibly selfish of the players and players union to put these young rookies and college students in that position. It's not their fault that the 2 sides couldn't agree.
Watched Mark Ingram ( RB-Hiesman) on NFL total access last night. The kid was gushing about how his whole life he's wanted to be drafted and walk on stage. You could see dream in his eyes. I felt very bad for the position he has been put in due to the NFLPA.
I was watching espn this morning and Patrick Peterson said nobody has contacted him and told him not to show up. And at this point he plans on attending as its his life long dream.
I think the NFLPA is just talking smack to the media.
