Reggie Bush Loses Heisman : NFL Labor Twitter Tweets Are Juicy


While Reggie Bush has lost his 2005 Heisman Trophy. This blogger doesn't know how that works; I can't imagine someone showing up at his door and asking for him to take it out of his trophy case.

But however it's done, Reggie Bush clearly can't be happy at all with the news. Moreover, given his recent tweets on Twitter @reggie_bush, the experience may make him more of a fighter against "the establishment" and "the man" than he already is.

Witness Reggie Bush recent series of tweets on the NFL Labor issue - most recent, first:



RT @NickM84: @reggie_bush what working person wuld think an 18% pay cut wuld b reasonable? I wuld not except that either! Exactly!

RT @RandomTKA: ok so what is the sticking point with the negotiations? (the owners want the Players to take an 18% pay cut)

So that next year if in fact there is a lockout, which is looking like that's what it's gonna be, you guys know all the facts!

I think people are taking this as a need for sorrow or pity? Not at all! Just educating you guys! It's always good to be knowledgable!

And the bigger picture is not just about the current players. But also the retired players who are maybe now broke. What happens to them?

Every NFL Athlete does not make millions. That's a small percentage of the NFL. The vast majority makes nowhere near that.

Healthcare is an issue that all people can relate to. And as Football Players it is the back bone of our business and life.

And it's not a strike, it's a lockout on the NFL Owners behalf! The players want nothing more than to play, but we have to be protected!

Here is one of the major issues: Did you know that as of March 2011 not one single NFL Player will have Healthcare Insurance

@fraschettik I'm so glad you said that. Because it's not about rich fighting the rich! It's about much more than that!

RT @fraschettik: Reggie it's hard for the average American making 45 to 50k a yr watch millionares and billionares fight over money.

Now, put together those tweets with Reggie's time as a USC Trojan, the subsequent investigation and stripping of the Heisman, and the wager here is Bush will become a fighter for player rights against owners and the establishment.

I also can't see Bush taking the USC issue without a fight.
