I think Manziel is a douche, but I do find it funny that capitalism seems to be stopped at the front door of these threads.

That's all this is. If it was a number of other players most of these posters wouldn't have any gripes.

It's sad that a Wrestler in MN can't produce music under his own name because some archaic model of "amateur" athletics says so. Or a second string football player who wants to start a business selling 3rd party cell phone plans but cant because he isn't allowed to profit off of his name while in college. I can't believe how many people are defending the system...
