Most of the NFL players bitching about how terrible they had it, are doing so from a golf course somewhere warm, living in nice homes, and are basically retired by age 40.

I was thinking the same thing. There's men out there who have worked harder jobs, for less pay, and for more years that have physical issues. Hell, go talk to a waitress with arthritis in most of her (or his) joints carrying endless trays of food.
Or how about the family of 4 (mom, dad and two kids) that are trying to make ends meet and working 4 jobs? Think they have some physical issues or total exhaustion?
No saying the NFL isn't a physical league with former players having long lasting issues but get over yourself. There are everyday people that deal with this stuff too.
