Half Empty? NFL

[Sportello]

Players lost the argument when it because a protest against the flag and country .

In spite of your statement being gibberish, it is not, and never was, a protest against the flag and country.

 

[MAKAVELI]

I don't know about that. Once things hit you in the wallet, you start acting different. Right now, it is costing them nothing.

Same goes for the NFL and NFL owners .

That is what we see. You nailed it.

I also seen entire team to take a knee after the maroon president decided to call them sons of buddy*. If the NFL tries to tries to force the players to stand or be punished there will be a reaction to it and it won't be a positive one for the NFL.

I read somewhere they are going to poison the gatorade if they don't follow the directive.

Money. Make it a $25,000 fine.

That ain't diddly... suspend them them without pay.

Principles fly away in the face of money.
Suspend w/o pay and see them cuckservatives snap to attention!

Suspend them and you may as well get used to Friday night football.

I never watch it so no impact on me.

Yes we know how UPS management works but we're talking about the NFL.

Sorry @Wally , better luck next year.
NFL: No mandate for players to stand during national anthem

 

[burrheadd]

Yeah good luck with that. The bottom line is the more owners try to force them to stand the more they will fight back.

Until it starts to effect their pocketbooks

As a Teamster you should know this saying. Power in numbers.

Which is why the owners are trying to come to an agreement with the players. The fake patriotism is hilarious, they only care about their pocketbooks.

Players would argue that they are their own company, and they provide a service to their team by entering into a contract to learn plays and catch or throw passes for them.

Do the players have contracts?

 

[dudebro]

Do the best layers have contracts?

They all do, but as the dollars go up, the more teams have to negotiate anyway. It's like that old saying, if the 53rd special teamer falls asleep in a Packers meeting, you cut him. If Aaron Rodgers falls asleep, you wake him up.

Then technically, they aren't employees. Start cutting those at the bottom of the roster and I guarantee you some huge name at the top will dare teams to cut them and we'll be exactly where we are right now.

Exactly my point. The NFL is 1500 guys where no one else can do what they do. They might technically be employees, but when your employer can't go out and just get any other person trained up to do the job, the dynamic changes.
