Entire Arena Football team cut during pregame meal at Olive Garden

[JonLP24]

The owner of the Pittsburgh Power fired all 24 members of his team during a pregame meal at an Orlando-area Olive Garden.

With AFL players set to strike before the 2012 season opener, owner Matt Shaner reacted first, cutting his entire team hours before kickoff of a game against the Orlando Predators.

"Mid-statement, all the players got up and left," former Power center Beau Elliott told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "Every player got up and left while he was still talking. There were 15 to 20 angry, large individuals."

The AFL Player's Association was calling for an increase in the $400 game checks paid to most players on each team. The union demanded a 300 percent increase in the minimum salary. AFL owners countered with a $100 raise.

1. $400 pergame doesn't seem like much...

especially if you figure that's all they get. Owenrs are assholes no matter what sport apparently.

2. It was the second-worst thing to happen to them at the Olive Garden that day.
