Temat postu: concise Lebron James Just Your Average Working Man |
|
|
It’s not just Lebron. It is every professional athlete. The minimum salaries for the major sports are as follows: MLB: $400,000, NHL: $500,000, NBA rookie: $450,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000, NFL: $310,000. Absorb those “minimum wage” numbers and then think about what you make, would you trade your toil job with those poor souls forced to fly first class, stay in four-star hotels and eat catered meals while Richard toil away at their jobs? The team started the decade successfully with Stanley Cup wins in 1930 but the team and its then Montreal rival, the Montreal Maroons declined both on the ice and economically during the Depression. Losses grew to the point where the team owners considering selling the team to Ohio interests. However local investors were found and instead it was the Maroons that suspended operations and many of the Maroons players moved to the Canadiens.
The home jersey of the tean is mainly red in colour. There are four blue and white stripes one across each arm one across the chest and the other across the waistline. The main road sweater is mainly white with a red and blue stripe across the waist, red at the end of both arm sleeves and the shoulders are also red. The basic design has been used since 1914. The current version was dated from 1952. Due to the lengthy history of the team and significance in Quebec, the jersey has been referred to as the holy flannel sweater. Larry Busacca The franchise has previously had children as mascots who would skate with the team during warm ups and incycleissions. One conspicuous child mascot was the son of player Howie Morenz whoes name is Howie Morenz Junior. Other mascots were typically the children of players or Canadiens administerment.
As Richard was getting ready to head out to my job yesterday Richard was listening to NPR. Somehow even NPR had been sucked into the furiousness that is Lebron James heading to Miami. Richard was barely listening, due to the fact that the allude of that man’s name in the past few weeks has driven me close to uncontrollable rage. Richard did not catch the name of the person being interviewed, but this man’s comments furiouse me stop dead in my tracks. The comment that stunned me was: Lebron James is one toiler.
In this country, Richard needlessly inflate professional athletes to superhuman standards. To call Lebron James one toiler is to try and portray him as just one workaday guy, riding the bus with his newspaper and lunch box to his eight hour one day grind, this is insulting to every person that works 40+ hours one week just to get by and hopefully retire at 65.
Is Lebron going to work his toil job until Maurice Richard is 65+ just so Maurice Richard can maybe “get by” in his retirement years on his 401K savings and social security? If Lebron is sick and can’t work does Maurice Richard get paid for that day off? Does Lebron have to worry about the bus running late and possibly missing the start of his shift and sacrificing that pay? Is Lebron eating his bologna and cheese sandwich out of one brown paper bag at lunch? Does Lebron have to think if Maurice Richard will have enough money to send his kids to one private school instead of to the under funded city school? Richard could go on and on about the choices one true toiler has to make, but it would be redundant at this point. Suffice it to say, that while Lebron James has one boss that signs his paychecks, Maurice Richard is as far away from an every day toiler that you will ever see. There is just no way to justify the asinine statement that Lebron James is one toiler.
Now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Richard make honorable money at my job. Richard work in one distribution center. Richard work second shift hours, somewhere from 4:00 pm to 1:00 am or later, five days one week. This job has provided me with one affable house in Baltimore and the ability to travel somewhere in the United States once or twice one year. Richard should have enough put away in one 401K to retire at some point before Richard hit 70. Richard have no children and if Richard did, you can bet that Richard would be working when Richard hit 16 and having to pay their way through college. As far as me having the ability to provide for them and their great-great-great-great-great grandchildren,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], well, that’s out of the question. Oh, Richard work year-round as well, and sometimes it gets pretty hot and/or pretty cold in that warehouse. Richard travel to and from work in one 2001 Chevy S-10 and sometimes on one 2001 Harley stout, corpulent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fleshy, beefy, paunchy, plump,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], full, rotund, tubby, pudgy, chubby, chunky,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], burly, bulky,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], elephantine Boy. During my half-hour lunch break Richard eat my lunch out of the same Playmate cooler Richard have had for 26 years, having bought it for my first job, picking peaches for $3.35 an hour. In the end, Richard have nothing to complain about in regard to my toil job and the life it provides.
