I understand that a lot of pro athletes are very religious. But how the gently caress does this appeal to them?

Texans are doing what hundreds of businesses have done before, regime change centered around loyalty to the new top brass. The only difference here is that they're doing it in full view of the national sports media. Hell, I'm sure this exact scenario has played out before in the NFL but without the QB being wise to the scam component.

TITTIEKISSER69 posted:I seriously want all the players on the Texans to file their retirement papers tomorrow. I need this to be part of the TV dramatization of this saga. Caserio and Easterby are in an office late at night. Easterby is marking up the playbook replacing all the terminology with bible verse numbers. Caserio looks down at his phone and his dead eyes grow wide. “Uh, Jack? Retirement papers just came through.” “What? For who?” “............ everyone.”

PsychoInternetHawk posted:I'm trying to find more info about this because I'm otherwise convinced this must all be part of a Marlins-esque scheme to squeeze more money out of the franchise by reducing it to the bare minimum It's buried in the CBA somewhere, but from the wikipedia: quote:Violating the salary floor regulations does not result in any fines or competitive penalties; instead, deficiencies are placed into a pool and distributed among all players who were on the regular roster of the offending team during a four-year floor cycle, prorated according to time on the roster in said period.

remembering this from the original SI story... quote:Easterby also began occasionally addressing the team on the nights preceding games, turning the meeting room into his pulpit. But some of his efforts to relate to the majority-Black roster occasionally failed him; in some cases he even caused offense. During one Saturday-night meeting in 2019, Easterby, who is white and cites Martin Luther King Jr. as a role model, asked players to think back to when they were growing up “playing ball with Ray-Ray and Ki-Ki and them,” according to three people in the room for these meetings. Some saw the language as more of a misguided attempt to fit in—players often called Easterby a “try-hard.” But at least one person was bothered enough by what they saw as a use of Black stereotypes that they debated saying something to Easterby. (They decided not to take on that conversation with a game the next day.) A few weeks later, one of the sources says, Easterby used similar language again.

Magicpants posted:so under the right circumstances, an owner could make more money without players than he could with a good team There's basically two flows of revenue, national (tv contracts, merchandising and licensing) and local (tickets, stadium crap, corporate sponsors). National revenue is about $300m per team per year. Local revenue is a black box, but we know the Packers made about $210m last year. So yeah, I think it'd be super loving easy to make money despite fielding an rear end team for years on end.
