7. "Ditka supports the union menbers (players) of the NFL"

Sep 2014

The NFLPA, which is the players union is question, challenged the right of the NFL to punish players for accepting "bounty money" for deliberately inflicting injuries on players of opposing teams. The coaches and owners were suspended without pay for a full year for offering the bounty money, but the NFLPA sued in civil court to prevent the NFL from imposing any puntisment at all on the players who accepted the maony and actually inflicted injuries.

The NFLPA is now suing in civil court to reverse the suspension of Ray Rice for knocking his fiance unconcious in an elevator and dragging her out of it by her hair. The union does believes the suspension is excessive punishment.

Ditka should not be turning Bears fans into Packers fans, he should be turning Bears fans into Ice Dancing fans.
