They aren't stuffed into some 727 or MD-88.

A Boeing 777 is one of the most technologically advanced commercial passenger aircraft flying. Here's a pic of typical business class seating:

And it's huge, i'ts not like the team would have to sit crammed in next to each other. They could easily sit with a seat or two between each person.

Short of Hunt actually buying a 777 and having a custom interior put in, you can't really have it any better.

And before anyone starts with the idea of Clark buying such an aircraft, they start at about $250,000,000, before you start customizing it. Or they did before COVID. might need to tack another 25-35% or more onto that these days. Then whatever it costs to put in 1st-class type seating throughout. 10-20 million there? Then what it costs to operate, which would be, well probably $250,000 per flight? Thing burns like 3200 gallons of fuel per hour in cruise. Without breaking out a calculator, that's around $12000/hr just in fuel burn. Plus, pilots, attendants, insurance, maintenance, etc.

So, there's no daycare. I mean, they're millionaires. They can't be bothered to hire their own nannies?

So, it's not the food that's the problem in the cafeteria, it's the fact that the room itself isn't big enough somehow. I mean, I don't know what they can do about that.

It's not that the locker room isn't nice enough; it's that the players would rather they had a chair not a stool to sit on. Fine, get some chairs.

The "not enough room in the plane" thing is dumb. It's literally an aluminum tube flying at 400+ mph. Just how large should it be? Maybe some of the players would rather sit out on the wing or something so they can stretch out . . . maybe they could give them the illusion of a more open feel by making the thing convertible.
NFLPA wanted to make a point about shared hotel rooms for rookies and knew the Chiefs did that so they included some bullshit about the plane so that the F grade was not just about shared hotel rooms even though that was the reason for the F.

The plane the Chiefs players were flying in on the State Farm commercial with Andy Reid seemed real nice.

Being crammed into a regular sized plane seat must be awful for them. Especially flying back from a game where they just got physically beat up for several hours. Seems like the team/league could and should do better in this department.
I'm 6'2" and I'm squished in those main cabin seats.

Good God man. The lowest paid players on teams make 750k. After taxes that’s roughly 472k. Bro you make 39k a month and your ass can’t find a good daycare for your kids? Wut?

The strength room doesn’t need to be all out. And why would it be? Most of the time spent using a weight room for the players is in the off-season away from the facility. They use it like 1 time from February to training camp unless you want to stay there.

And tbh nobody on a team gives a shit about lower level players nutrition. Sure they have good shit like smoothies, cafeteria stuff etc but any player worth anything has their own chef making them breakfast and dinner. Why would teams care?

Lot of entitlement around the league for guys making that much money.
That reduction of income after taxes is depressing. Good grief.

But you are right, daycare isn't a NFL responsibility.
