Here in Wisconsin

Thousands are currently at the Capital protesting Walker's decision to destroy unions and screw workers. Unlike the police and fire unions, we learned today that
[f]ive former and two current Packer players are standing behind state union employees.
The seven NFL Players Association members have signed a letter supporting the AFL-CIO's efforts against Gov. Scott Walkers' budget plan to end collective bargaining rights for nearly all public employees.
Their statement says Wisconsin has a "long standing tradition of allowing public sector workers to have a voice on the job," a practice that "has worked for the state since the 1930s."
Signing the statement are Brady Poppinga and Jason Spitz along with former Packers Curtis Fuller, Chris Jacke, Charles Jordan, Bob Long and Steve Okoniewski.
True champions, it would seem.No National Guard call up as of yet.
