I just looked at the screen and saw the number hit one thousand signatures which feels wild because I honestly started this late one night feeling pretty frustrated about how these players get treated. It is honestly so cool to see so many people actually care about these retirees who gave so much to the game and I am just sitting here kind of stunned by it all.

I was just looking at the count and we are nearly at one thousand names which is wild because I honestly thought this might just drift into the void. If you can get this link over to just one other person who watches the games then we might actually have enough momentum to force a real conversation with the front office.

I really thought this might just fizzle out in the quiet corners of the internet but seeing this level of momentum is honestly making my head spin a little bit (in a good way, I think). It is honestly wild to see so many people finally agreeing that these players have been sidelined for far too long while the league just keeps growing.

It is a crying shame at the way retired NFL players are treated as long as they are making the NFL money they mean something but when they retired they are nothing.(To the NFL God made you what you are today and he hasn't forgot you so don't forget them)
My dad played back in the 70s and is hurting pretty bad these days. The league needs to step up and stop acting like these guys are just disposable.
Treat them with respect.
JUST PAY THEM WHAT THEY EARNED. IT IS DISGUSTING HOW GREEDY THE LEAGUE HAS BECOME.
These guys put their bodies on the line for years and now they cant even get proper healthcare. The NFL makes billions and leaves these legends in the dust. Fix this now.
Perseverance is critical
