If I remember correctly, the drill sergeants called the first pay new troops got the flying 50, meaning some of the lads would think to just take the money and run awol.
Flying Fifty has taken on a new meaning in this day and age.
Fanatical about sports as a child, I took little interest after I stopped playing. I've paid little attention to the kneeling as it seems to me just part of the whole panem et circenses of professional running around.
It appears that the commissioner of the NFL is up for contract renewal. The exact details elude me, but he wants something like 50,000,000 and lifetime use of a private plane, a flying 50.
One might ask. what has the man done to earn such largesse and what will he do in the future to justify it.
Mes amis, if you spend your days watching and talking about and obsessed with the NFL while they are paying someone so much money, you are suckers. Heck, if they pay him $50,000 and give him a few vouchers, you are still suckers.
