Im not sure what this means?

But they could have chosen to pay nothing and sent out some tweet with "Bills Mafia, we need you!", and you know there'd be more than enough people who'd go shovel for free "for the team".

No one is forcing people to accept the terms. And what is "appropriate"?

If ya wanna go make 20 bucks an hour shovelling...go.

If not, don't.

Green Bay gets volunteers on the regular when they need it...which is once a year on average. They dont pay them a thing iirc, other than a hearty meal and warm beverages.

What a strange stance, and then pulling the "right wingers" card...

Some posters just love to label folks that don't align with them when they go on their tangents.

The Bills next opponent will have 2 extra days of rest if they win. As the 2 seed, I expect them to win. This will pretty much force the team who wins this game to play on Sunday.

Curious what you think a fair wage is for this work? Like $60 an hour with full benefits?

$20 is pretty damn good and inline with other manual labour. To put it in perspective, NY minimum wage is like $14 and UAW minimum wage is around $19 if I'm not mistaken.

In normal conditions, I think $20 is reasonable. If it's too extreme for millionaire athletes to play in, I think you can bump up the compensation and offer to throw in some tickets or something.

They should postpone the Miami v Kansas City as well. It’s not safe for fans or the teams.

Browns vs Texans might be the only entertaining game of the weekend.

Every Texans play is going for more yards than it should.
