Anthony Manzo-Lewis Played Professional Football-Until He Didn't, And Was Put Out On The Street

Anthony is part of the Memphis squad of the AAF. When the league snapped its fingers and shut down, Anthony came back to his hotel to find his belongings in the lobby. He found himself 17 hours from home, no real knowledge of the area.

Many players are in dire situations apparently. Please contact your city's local franchise and ask them if there is a fund for the players because this is unacceptable treatment of labor.

It still comes down to respect for labor. Does this episode unfold like this in the Obama era? Interesting thought experiment.

Will update as needed.
