the comments sections of any post about the kneeling protests is always a gold mine of chuds red in the face with fury at something that they subsequently dismiss as a child's game of no importance

gonna be lots saying they should do something in their communities instead of kneeling despite the entire thread being just that

I hope there is a lock out lol

word, this is why I'm not exactly on the Jenkins train. this is a decent gesture but cmon man, we know the score


also wasn't the 89mil just reallocated from various other charitable ventures the NFL was participating in? like, it's not even new money. they're robbing Peter to....play ball...

I really can't see them opting out this year, and probably next year, in the current climate. I don't think the players will be in any rush to start the season on time like in 2011

And the players will accept it in exchange for letting them kneel because the nflpa is a drat joke.

Just remember that the average nfl career is less than three years, and the current salary structure has incentived teams to sign even fewer veterans in favor of players on their rookie contracts. This makes the NFL union remarkably weak compared to the MLB and NBA.

It would take a substantial number of players basically forgoing at least a third of their career for a strike to happen.

Seriously. Go on strike. The whole CBA is a loving joke.

Let the league start a bunch of scab talent and let it bleed out...

The NFL relays on Star Power players and when they don't have that leverage it hits them hard.

Get hosed NFL. Do the right loving thing.

Unfortunately the number of quarterbacks that would go along with the strike are a lot smaller than the ones that won't.

Running backs must hate the idea of a strike.

It's going to be like Rookie of the Year and the first time he throws he will just accidentally casually throw the ball straight out of the stadium. And also like Rookie of the Year he will immediately re-injure himself and be playing in little league next year. :saddowns:
