NFL Has A Problem

More dummies.

 

What is it about free market capitalism that these guys don't understand? If the owners feel that a certain player brings too much baggage and could potentially damage their brand, they have every right not to sign that player.

 

I am not 100% sold on the facet that any Steeler players would enact on this. Granted, one can point out the "Chicago Crisis" but I believe said incident transpired due to miscommunication.


Regarding the rest of the league though, it is entirely possible we see entire teams not on the field. I would not be surprised even if we observe such an incident sooner rather than later.



To say this is not going to carry on beyond 2019 is incorrect though for certain. This issue is sadly going to be among all those who spectate and participate in the NFL for some time.

 

The games still would be played. The owners still will make income. Players will loose salary. Brilliant plan.

 

Don't they already have a mediocre QB and a problem child?

 

Wouldnt this be considered by the league as an illegal strike????

 

LOLOLOLOLOL
Ain't happening.
Period.
End of discussion.

 

Soon, instead of the game we will be reduced to re-watching threads where RPO and PWP went at each other, and other TTF Classics.

 

Glad the Brooklyn Dodgers thought otherwise.

Then history has proved them morally right and correct. Plus, they went to a bunch of championships and earned a title. The rest of the league followed suit. Some begrudgingly and others not so much.

History has also proven that protesting the expansion of equality and freedom for civil rights has ALWAYS been correct. Every time. This is no different.

PS - Pro football integrated the year before MLB.

 

Money talks lol

 

I personally don't want to deal with that stuff while I'm trying to enjoy my football.
Can't we just do football and these guys who want to protest go down to the park with a bunch of their friends and protest?

 

Play players that want to play. There are plenty of guys that would be willing to play and field a team that are still very good football players. Let them sit and good luck with your new jobs.

 

I don't believe that there is a single NFL player who would give up a year of their career and the money that comes with it to do this.

 

I hope they sit out and the NFL season ahead without them. They won't be missed.

 

There will just be new stars, just like is done every year. It's not like every star player is going to sit out. New players are integrated in the league every year and they become the next stars. Look at college ball, they have huge turnovers in players and it has huge revenue's.

 

These guys don't have the power they think they have. If they want to sit then let them sit and not get paid. They will be missed, just like Brett Favre was missed until Aaron Rodgers won the Packers a super bowl.

There's always another guy.

 

I really miss Drew Bledsoe!

 

Well, Kaepernick and the other players don't "personally" want other people who look like them have to die disproportionately at the hands of authority more than people of my reflection.

I personally think their protest trumps the stuff you would like to deal with on Sunday. I also not only think, but know, that them taing a knee distracts or changes a single thing about the game. Passively taking a humble knee could not be more respectful of a silent, minute-long protest.

The people who are really making it an issue and a big deal out of it are misguided reactors twisting one meaning for another. I personally think those clutching their pearls over the players actions have tried to dredge up a patriotic/veterans topic to distract because they know that's a cause that can't be beat. They really just don't like black people protesting anywhere, about anything, in any way. EVER! Never have and never will.

They didn't like the white freedom riders in the 60's standing up either. They had cute "loving" nick names for people that share my personal sensibilities. But they were wrong then and those opposing the players now are now. It's the same story in a different era.

 

**If** they were to pull such a stunt, it would only last as long as it takes them to realize that the pay isn't coming in anymore. Miss a game check or two and that will be the end of it.

 

Colin Kaepernick.
