At least this makes the organization look better, since the NFLPA is trying to screw him to, by including a standard merchandising clause.
PLAY BALL!

Yeah, it seems like it's the world against LaVar. Poor wittle guy. Only making 60 million dollars to play a game for a living and getting paid royalties to have his name and number put on jerseys. Anyone have his address? I 'd like to send him some flowers, maybe a sympathy card. If he starts talking about himself in the third person, I'm buying a Portis jersey.

He makes 6% off the sale of his merchandise, yeah I would not want an extra few hundred thousand a year or whatever. Also got a kick out of how he says it is cool seeing people wear his jersey. I was on the redskins site this morning and his jersey was still for sale.

I remember that LaVar complained that 6% of the wholesale costs was too low a percentage and wanted more. Does anyone know however if he was just looking to increase his share or set a new standard for all players?Because if it's the latter I'm surprised no one else has made these complaints.

Either way, LaVar needs to find some new representation and get his off-field act together.

I'm a little confused...

We chose to pay LaVar over Champ because supposedly Champ doesn't want to be here, but now LA is not only saying he's missing 6.5 mil but he also is saying that he doesn't want to be a part of the merchandising contract because he wants a higher percentage?

I can't find my calculator, can anyone tell me what 7.5% of nothing is?

Is there a way to send Lavar Arrington a note or email to tell him he is looking real greedy and bad? You always hear how players get fan mail, does anyone have an address to him or Redskins park?

Yeah he may think 6% is low if he dont like it he can get his own designer or sell his own shirts like they do in racing. I dont think I have ever heard of anyone else compalin about making 6%. Look at Farve number how many of those shirts have you seen. I dont think he is complaining just smiling all the way to the bank each month. Of course you know it is his brillant agent thinking he can always get more. Well I wonder how much money he has lost by not taking the 6% all of these years. I do believe that the 6% is a number decided by the players union. So does that mean he is defying the union?

I'm really torn on this, on one hand I love LaVar as a player, on the other hand this junk is really getting annoying and it's slowly tarnishing my opinion of him.

First he's missing $6.5M and now he didn't agree to the NFLPA licensing agreement, I mean c'mon, did he or his agent even read the damn contract??!!

I can't feel sorry for him in either situation. And I really can't believe it's the world against LaVar like he wants us to think.

I was pumped to buy a LaVar jersey this offseason, now I'm definitely thinking twice about it.

As for him not being in video games, that's not really a big deal, change his name to Arrington and change his # to 56 and you're good to go.

I am not going to say anything about him, cause I was always told if you cant say anything nice dont say anything at all so I will just say nothing.
