Hines Ward angry: NFL players do not care

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward out Wednesday hypocritical stance on safety in the NFL what he calls his players lashed out, claiming the league recently toughened its stance just because he wants to extend his 18th season - game.

Ward said the players who are legal non-aggressive to hit the league went to its police among dangerous confusion. Steelers linebacker James Harrison since mid-October to hit four separate fines of $ 125,000, two of them were not punished.

They are the league We do not care anyway, Ward, said a veteran of 13 - year history, Steelers leading receiver. They do not care about the safety of the game. If the league was so concerned about security, you can add two more games why? You talk about players you do not want to drink ... And you see all the beer commercials. You do not want us to gamble, but then there are (NFL approved the lottery game from scratch.)

NFL season now with the players union during negotiations for an extension of the current Labour is pushing.

It's almost like we have more flags, more fines, throw out the dish we think we can say that we protect the game, safety Ryan Clark said, reflecting the opinion of league position. Now, we have 18 games because of how we can protect.

Ward also predicted a team loses a game - and probably the playoffs - as being an official for the league by not following its new policy of discipline out of fear makes a wrong call.

It is to change the outcome, someone, be it to lose a game, Ward said. The playoff game is going to be a big game, no quarterback is going to hit or something, the judge is being too afraid to read it. So he can save his tail in it being read. They (players) do not get a penalty or may not, but baseball is the result.

Ward's comments at an NFL shop franchises growing anger among the players represent. Steelers are increasingly angry about the penalty Harrison next week, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and beats that had a penalty and a fine of a week to experience a lack of security has been imposed, but not subject to any penalty a week later are.

Steelers linebacker James Farrior said the league has quickly become the wild west, wild. We're on right now. There regulation of the (hopefully) is a type.

NFLPA head DeMaurice Farrior said Smith did not properly supported on NFL players.

Ward and many other NFL players said that the Steelers have a player that Colts' Peyton Manning or Tom Brady Patriots do not hesitate to fix injured when Roethlisberger moats Arthur Marcus Stroud Buffalo already beaten after being pulled to be seen still did nothing. Roethlisberger hit show replays of moats on the right foot when turning on the ground.

Player did not draw a penalty or fine. Roethlisberger, who injured his right knee and leg on Wednesday, was wearing a walking boot, though he said he expects to play Sunday in Baltimore.

Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs during a conference call with reporters in Pittsburgh Steelers agree with the opponent took the unusual location.

Take your favorite league Wednesday, Suggs said. A being a being with Andy North in the team. Besides these two, every one is fair game. Like I always said, there (Bengals) Carson Palmer 2005 that injured his knee, but was. Tom Brady was hit in the knee, and suddenly there any potential suspension, very fine it is just getting ridiculous ..

Roethlisberger, was asked about the comment, "Suggs said, he probably knows a few things about the game of football.

Although they expressed confusion week, Steelers Ward never change his game according to the rules will not change the neck style.

Ward said we had to play the game like we always have to keep going. If they are okay with us, they are fine with us. This is football. I care what kind of rules do not make you (against) the body can not defend the game. It's always going to be a physical game.
