    That's not happening, the union won't allow it

    If a team refuses to play, that's tantamount to a wildcat strike. Most union contracts forbid those under their CBA. I wonder if the NFL CBA has that clause. If so, they can most definitely be fired (or heavily disciplined).

    Forget not playing. Hell, forget kneeling. All you're doing is getting the people you want to reach to dig their heels in in opposition. Instead, use your post game interviews. Give short responses to questions and segue into the message you want to convey.

    "Yeah, this loss is disappointing. But you know what's more disappointing?..."

    "We worked hard for this win.But we're working harder for..."

    Etc. Etc. Etc.

    At this point I wouldn't mind seeing all the teams mascots come out and play a game. Or perhaps we can have the cheerleaders mud wrestle. I'm sure someone would protest that too though.;)

    I read it simply as, if you’re going to do something, do something real that’s proactive and in the community. Don’t just give opinions that can then be jumped on and twisted beyond their meaning.

    For me, that’s an appropriate response.

    I'm not sure most NFL players could string 3 coherent sentence"s together.. Have you read some of the tweets these guys put out ??:hmmm:

    Tomlin goes from talking about 'we' to talking about 'they' without explaining who 'we' or 'they' are.

    Will it make you listen any more or less? Does it accomplish anything. Or is it just a look at me thing they are doing? Serious question, not aimed at you. :smiley1:

    I’m just having a hard time believing these protests will actually help a single person on this planet.

    Even my negative self believes the September Steelers can beat the Giants. Giants suck if they forfeit.

    And the September Steelers suck ass going back to Noll years....1989 to be exact.

    Well, considering that they are fully behind the BLM movement whose co founder is an admitted trained Marxist which supports communism I will choose to listen less. The only thing it is accomplishing at this point is hatred towards the American capitalist foundation which has allowed these athletes to become rich beyond their wildest dreams. It would be nice if the protesters did more research but jumping to conclusions seems to be their mantra anyways.

    Yea getting everyone’s attention on how moronic they look! Sitting out 1 game won’t do a damn thing and everyone knows it. Want to make real changes? Quit playing and go donate money to urban neighborhoods and spend time at a non profits helping people grow. But I’m sure that won’t happen!

    I'll just say this.... be careful NFL...I've already dropped the NBA, and barely cared about MLB or NHL before.. They canceled my Big 10 season. It's becoming easier and easier to walk away from sports as I find other things to do with my time.

    Come on man. Terrible idea for our team. We don't have cheerleaders but I'd love seeing young ladies in tiny black and gold outfits. And if I'm being honest mud wrestling with the ladies just doesn't do it for me. The mud covers up way too much and then the thought of cleaning the shower after that........yikes.

    I believe we have won 3 opening games in the last 9 years so even if the Giants forfeit we may still lose.
