Domonique Foxworth admits he isn’t completely satisfied with the leadership of the NFL Players Association.

However, the Broncos defensive back is tired of hearing current and former players verbally attack the union’s executive director, Gene Upshaw. In the past year, many people, most notably Mike Ditka and Kyle Turley, have taken Upshaw to task for his handling of retired and disabled players.

    That is the unfortunate truth…..the young guys such as Foxworth have no idea of the history that has brought things to this point and really don’t understand what a lot of us ARE DOING to bring about change. To say that we are just talking an doing nothing is absurd. We, as Bruce points out, are doing what we can within the system that exists…..we are in need of changing the system. Thanks for filling him in Bruce.
