Saints RB Takes To Social Media And Puts Foot In Mouth

Reggie Bush is enjoying the lockout, and took time to go on Facebook and Twitter to tell everyone about it.

Not surprisingly, there was a pretty harsh backlash to Bush telling everyone how much he is relaxing and enjoying not having to practice. It also is reasonable to think the trade union formerly known as the NFLPA is not too happy with Bush either, considering their argument the lockout is causing harm to the players.

Like many players, though, Bush just is not that smart. Unlike some other players, he does not have the credentials to even say he is taking some well-deserved time off.

From Bush's Twitter:

Everybody complaining about the lockout! Shoot I'm making the most of it! Vacation, rest, relaxing, appearances here and there! I'm good!

The core argument the players are making to the courts is they are suffering because of the lockout. When players make comments like this on social media, it is just fodder for the league to present to the judge and say, "Yeah, I don't think so."

The truth is there are a lot of players hurting, but only a handful of them are hurting because of what the NFL did. Players who blew all their earning on bling, cars and boats are in holes of their own making and I refuse to feel bad for them.

Players who toil on practice squads or at the bottom of the depth charts who needed the minicamp income to carry them through to the season are the guys I feel bad for.

The problem is, the players who have money rarely care about those who do not, and even though some of the players named in the antitrust lawsuit have well-documented pasts with helping others, the fact they are in the process of blowing everything up puts a bad smell to everything.
