Good for Brent Grimes wife....

I read that until it said her food was served but she decided to keep going.

This woman is getting served food because her husband plays a game. Yeah its tough but soldiers don't live in mansions with radio shows.

It's all relative. Those points are important to her.

You're dismissing her points because there are other troubles out there... well the same could be said about anything who has a worse situation. On the grand scheme of things, yeah, her points are only important to her... which I don't have an issue with. I agree that her points are valid; the NFL is hypocritical.

I only watch TNF because the dumbass NFL schedules the Seahawks on Thursday so I have to rush home to catch the game at 530 PM PST. I hate TNF. If given the choice, I would nuke it.

Your arguments against her:
-Her husband makes a lot of money so she should be grateful
-People enjoy TNF so player safety is a non-point
-There are people who are suffering worse so she should be grateful
-Her husband missed work and was not afforded time-off so was docked pay even though he was granted permission

More reasons not to care about a preggo military wife... it's 2015, you can plan for pregnancies so you don't have to be alone if your partner gets deployed... but yes, I think a soldier and their partner are idiotic to volunteer for military service for $30K a year during wartime and then get upset that they may miss the birth of their child due to the soldier's deployment.

I read your comments as petty jealously because you feel her anger is somehow some great miscarriage of justice when her rant is no different than a lot of fans on a message board.

My name is Kettle... nice to meet you.

It is correct that it is 2015. It is also correct that you can plan a pregnancy. It is not correct that you can plan on being deployed. Just because a service member's wife is pregnant during wartime does not meant that they volunteered to serve during wartime. That being said, it is certainly one of the hazards of the job. I personally don't think that is a reason to put these people in a lesser category than the wife of a professional football player who gets 16 million guaranteed on their latest contract.
