    Apparently, this may have passed now.

    This could have gone on either Board, but really fits here better.

  • I heard that Hillary Clinton hired a yeti to pose as a member of the NFLPA to help get this passed. What is the end game, JAF?!

  • It's a real story. Was going to post it here but looks like Jay beat me to it.

    Some Facebook idiots are outraged.

    Social media is usually used for people bed wetting and screeching on both sides.

    There is more back story in a video I'll be posting later in my other thread (no way to break it out), interesting stuff.

    .... both....sides....?

    Idk. Sounds fake.

  • Well the NFL is a private organization. Though they may just be caught between both sides now. Making one happy and angering the other.

    Watch out, Woody will have a fit because you said bedwetting and screeching. 

    And you are right, social media makes this place look like a graduate assistant Roundtable.

    He actually said it in reference to both sides. That's the main difference

    You're second statement is a scary thought

  • Well, it looks like the video got deleted.

    I'll try to summarize what was in it, most likely won't do it justice, and will probably leave out quite a bit.

    The question came up as to why the Owners would allow this destruction of their Brand/Product to happen as it has ?

    2020.

    New CBA.

    The Owners are going to point to the lost Revenue / damage done in the new contract negotiations.

    Essentially, the Owner should have them over the Barrel for all the flak they've caused.

    More to it, but that's the gist.

    Now this is not the Team I expected to see doing this :

    So are they setting things up for more negotiation leverage, or are they really this far gone ?

  • They can most certainly protest on their own time. In the NFL they are getting paid millions of dollars to entertain people who don't give a damn about their protest.

    I would assume a burger flipper at McDonald's would get fired if he chose to offend restaurant customers in order to protest the fact Insane Clown Posse is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

  • Of course that equates ICP in the Hall to the feeling racism still exists in America

    Or assumes there really are a lot of people that give a Sheet about these protests and it's not just a vocal minority

    Not trying to equate the two. I think Insane Clown Posse being in the Hall of Fame is a much more important issue.

  • So if I protest police officers across America with no distinction as to who the bad ones are and who the good ones are, would I be profiling?  It's literally the same mentality these protesters claim to be bringing attention too.  Taking a broad approach to lecture people about broad approaches seems wildly hypocritical.  How about pointing out specific instances so that I can decide whether that specific situation I'm with you or not.  There is no such thing as institutional racism anymore, but you can certainly claim some individuals are racist.  I'm perfectly fine calling them out, but kneeling during a time of respect for social injustice of people you have no evidence were, as individuals, ever wronged to begin with is mindlessly stupid.  You can't suggest profiling is ok for your point, but is technically not for people you disagree with.  It's either wrong or it's not.  They're just using the same exact LOGIC a racist would use to form an opinion, they're just not saying directly racist things.  You will only get simpletons in your "movement" if that is the extent of your reasoning.  Try leading without emulating what your supposed to be against, instead of reinforcing the stereotype athletes aren't articulate enough to even approach this subject.

    Can't really use that anymore. He was cleared and the broad admitted lying about everything.

  • Good job NFL.
