Not Siding With Safety

I read a great analysis today of the actions taken by the NFL Players Association to grieve the suspensions given to the players involved in Bountygate. It basically doesn't make any sense to take this action on behalf of a few players when the safety of all players is in question.

In fact, the union is siding with players who chose to be involved in something that might hurt someone on the field. The NFLPA is certainly not looking to make the game safer, They have an obligation to their members to do so, but nobody is paying that much attention to that aspect of the game.
