NFL how much f*****g money y all make again - Fans blast league after ex-Packers player reveals they will no longer pay for his health insurance

Chicago Bears v Green Bay Packers Former NFL player Brandon Bostick is going through a tough time. The former tight end for the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets revealed on social media that the NFL will no longer pay for his health insurance. The 33-year-old wrote that he was sad that the league wasn't covering him for health insurance anymore and that all former NFL players needed coverage. Sad day?My NFL Insurance is ending. Now I gotta pay for Coverage.We need Lifetime Insurance. We deserve it. #pa Sad day?My NFL Insurance is ending. Now I gotta pay for Coverage.We need Lifetime Insurance. We deserve it. #pa It does seem rather odd that the league, which is a billion dollar industry, does not cover its players for life. The MLB does so with its former players and it is hoped that the NFL will follow suit. As expected, once fans saw Bostick's post, there was huge outrage. Fans took aim at the league and pointed out that despite making so much money, it can't continue to pay for the health insurance of a former player. Many fans also demanded that the NFL provide lifelong health insurance to former players. Here is a collection of tweets by fans on this issue.

Brandon Bostick is best known for his NFL playoff fumble

Chicago Bears v Green Bay Packers Brandon Bostick was only in the league for a short period of time. After being undrafted, Bostick found his way to the Green Bay Packers, where he had arguably the worst moment of his career. In the 2014 NFC Championship game, the Packers led Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks 19-14 with 2:09 left in the last quarter. The Seahawks had just scored and decided to try and onside kick. Bostick was situated in front of Jordy Nelson, the team's star receiver who had one of the best sets of hands in the league. Nelson was clearly the player the Packers wanted to catch the ball and had he done so, it would have effectively ended the game. NFC Championship January '15

The Seahawks found themselves down 19-7 late in the 4th quarter thanks to a 4th Russell Wilson interceptions but the then 3rd year QB turned it on the clutch leading 2 late TD drives (thanks to some help from Brandon Bostick) (1/4)NFC Championship January '15 The Seahawks found themselves down 19-7 late in the 4th quarter thanks to a 4th Russell Wilson interceptions but the then 3rd year QB turned it on the clutch leading 2 late TD drives (thanks to some help from Brandon Bostick) (1/4) But for some reason, Bostick, who was in front of Nelson, decided to try and catch the onside kick. He fumbled it and the Seahawks recovered and we all know what happened next. Aaron Rodgers was two minutes away from a Super Bowl appearance, only for Bostick to fumble the football and gift Seattle a chance to win, which they did in overtime. The tight end went on to play for the Vikings and Cardinals in 2015 (practice squads) and then the New York Jets in 2016. NFL Injuries: Find out about ?
