Players must make the difficult decisions necessary to live for one month on $100, often having to choose between equally disagreeable options, such as choosing between a healthy meal and working electricity, or covering the minimum on credit cards and paying the rent.

    I can see potentially a lot of things living from how we did our draft and implementing some of that coming up this year, we spent a lot of time in our collective bargaining agreement talking about how do we do our offseason in a way that promotes the health and safety of our players and also getting into the ramp-up to the season, including training camp period -- we call it the acclimation period -- and how we do that.

  5. Adam Schiff:

    January 6 will be remembered as one of the darkest days in our nation's history. Yet, more than a year later, the threat to our democracy is as grave as ever. January 6 was not a day in isolation, but the violent culmination of multiple efforts to overturn the last presidential election and interfere with the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in our history, the former President and his allies have spent every day since January 6 attempting to rewrite history about that bloody attack on our nation's Capitol. That's why these public hearings are so essential -- to show the American people exactly how January 6 came about, who is responsible, and most critically, what we can and must do to prevent another attack on our democracy.
