The teams of the Arena Football League have seen better days. Last Friday, just hours before their season opener against the Orlando Predators, members of the Pittsburgh Power elected to go on strike. Ownership responded by cutting them all during a team meal at Olive Garden.
Arena League Players Cut During Pregame Meal At Olive Garden
I’m putting food in my mouth and being read, from a piece of paper by our owner, that the Pittsburgh Power as a whole is now terminated,” said former Power center Beau Elliott. [...]
I’m glad this came to my attention, because I have a lot to say about this matter. You can read my take after the jump.
- I don't know how the Power thought they were going to play without Olive their players.
- Well, that was an amateurish business strategy. The Power really need to work on Garden their secrets more closely.
- It sounds like these guys aren't going to the championship this year, but at least they got to participate in the Never-Ending Pasta Bowl.
- I can't blame the players for what they did. Given their low pay, it sounds like they had no three-course but to declare a strike.
- It's a shame, but their running back was only averaging three yards per carry. Out with the old, in with the new.
- I know the team was desperate, but they didn't have to cala Hail Mari.
- Their roster's pretty thin. I don't know how they can expect the rest of the league to be alfredof them.
- These guys may not play in the NFL, but they're gamers, born and bred. Stick 'em with a hit and they'll bounce right back up.
- Hey, Pittsburgh Power. I'm sure you wanted to go undefeated this year, but it looks like you opened your season with a lasagna record.
- When you read a story like this, you can't help but think the AFL is a scam. P.R. maneuvering can't save them now.
