NFL players can be brands in and of themselves. As such, they have every right to protect those brands. Ethan Albright, long snapper for the Washington Redskins, was the worst rated player in the new Madden '07 game. It's a distinction no one really wants.
Hence the need for this decidedly non-work safe diatribe that takes a powerful stand for the Albright brand.
So, okay, it's clear Mr. Albright didn't really write the screed. But it's much more fun just to pretend that he did.
You go, Ethan.
