Saints’ NFLPA report cards are in

Treatment of families, organization of family events throughout the year, what do those entail exactly? Is it that the players feel over obligated for event or that the club isn’t doing enough to satisfy them or their families? Like do they want free trips to Disney World, etc.?

No, it's stuff like the post-game family area and daycare during games. Heck I'm not an NFL player and I've worked at places that offered daycare during my working hours (hospital). It also includes stuff like the team hosting events friends and family events for the players' families. In some cities the idea that the team is one big family echoes through ownership. In other places, it's just something management says. And quite honestly, hosting family friendly events should be something teams are running to embrace. That type of culture can't prevent players from getting into trouble but I bet it helps avoid it. Letting your younger players see the veterans and their families, each player seeing how much is riding on their joined commitment, all of that has to help. These aren't some weird excessive perks. It's stuff that makes players feel more welcomed in the building they will spend over 100 hours a week in for 5 months of the year.
