Dear NFL, it’s time to fly prospects to the Scouting Combine prospects in first class
The NFL flies prospects to the Scouting Combine in coach. We’ve heard about one player who is 6'5" and 275 pounds — and who was shoehorned into a middle seat in coach.
Here’s the reality. The NFL (and plenty of fans) will dismiss enduring such inconveniences as part of the extensive job interview process. But in industries where the applicants have the ability to choose their employers, they don’t have to deal with that. They get wined and dined and flown to the interviews in first class because in the end the choice belongs to them, not the employer.
What are incoming NFL players going to do, refuse not to go? The league and its teams have brainwashed everyone into thinking it’s an honor and a privilege to be drafted. In reality, it’s an honor and a privilege for the teams to be able to pick and choose their employees — after getting them to go through an extended stretch of insults and indignities and dehumanizing activities, all in the name of figuring out which of them will become the best football players at the next level.

Meh. With all the money grubbing the NFL does, this is pretty low down the list.
And I’ve flown first class a few times. A dude who’s 6’5” 275 lb is still going to be uncomfortable. They simply don’t design airline seats for people that big.
