Think this would ever happen in the States?

UK "footballers" -- and they're going for 100 percent participation -- donating a day's pay to fund for underpaid nurses.

I can see it now: NBA would be in open revolt.

Yeah, NFL and MLB players all play for the love of the game.

NHLers do.

They've got no choice now.

Stop being so pretentious. They're not "footballers" they are footballers. Just because two sports have the same name doesn't mean we have to pull this kind of stuff everytime one football or the other gets in the news. You think the NFL would ever start something like this on their own? I doubt it, so good job English footballers for starting something, maybe more will follow

The thought is nice, I suppose, but they couldn't come up with a better cause than donating to public employees?

I mean, British nurses may very well make crappy salaries. But within the context of world poverty, it seems like a odd "charity."

I hope your Blood Buddy scratches more than your hand next time!

Interesting notion.

Anyone think the recent flood of negative NBA pub could be partially or totally erased if they accomplished this here?

All they'd do is take the pay in singles and "rain" it on a stripper stage.
