“This year, 10 teams will play three games only 10 days apart” - PFT

We live in a consumable society.

To the league, and even to the fans to some degree, football players are “consumables”.
Not all that surprising…
Only difference is that some jobs pay better. Sure, people complain about flippin’ burgers or cleaning toilets for 20 bucks an hr… but it’s their choice! They know what they’re getting in to 👍🏻
