I could care less about what these loser players have to say. Also, unions are a huge reason this country is in such bad shape today.

Putting aside the broader monetary issues surrounding the NFLPA (and football in general), the union protecting player safety is the only noble purpose it can serve. This is a game where men take a blow to the head that knocks them cold, then lie about it so they can get back into the same game. In a lot of ways, the NFLPA is there to protect them from themselves. In this case, well, if I was hurt on the job and my employer that has a vested interest in my ability to chase a ball--not necessarily my overall health--tells me that I have to go to them for rehab, period, then I'd have a problem with that. If I have to pay for it myself to go elsewhere, fine, but under no circumstances should I be forced to go to the same employer that got me hurt in the first place for rehab and a "he's healthy (enough to play)" diagnosis.
