Trump creates the highest employment for blacks in the history of the country...
Michael Bennett hates Trump...
So that means Bennett doesn't like seeing black people prosper...

Well Mike...you can't make a paycheck if there are no fans.
What makes you think he does not have any other ways to make money?
What makes you think there will be no fans?

Considering that the league isn’t sure they will be able to reopen this fall, I wouldn’t get too far ahead of myself about how he can get paid.
The NBA’s Orlando experiment starts in July. If an epidemic of Covid happens in that bubble, the NFL is done for this season.

Well, "you" was more intended at the players in general. Maybe, he's a rocket scientist. Is he a rocket scientist? Will he be able to make millions per year?
I think they're making people angry, thus the "no fans".

If the NFL goes on strike over this, these owners will still be billionaires. Will the players still be millionaires?
Please let this happen. Oh, pretty please...with a cherry on top!

he needs to shut up and count his millions while he feels oppressed.

I hope this is the straw that broke the camel's back for NFL fans.

I know for a fact that he has multiple streams of income.

Why do you think that the NFL is his only source of income?

Ok, you got us...Bennett will be fine.
What about the other 1,600 or so NFL players. They good too, or what?

They haven’t snd they don’t. It’s a steamroller, a takeover, and the athletes are throwing their weight around. They aren’t just playing the race card, they are playing the entire deck. They will make it their league soon.

Not going to be much of a league when people stop buying tickets and watching the games.

There are plenty of people that make millions per year that are not athletes or a rocket scientist.

All of the fans are not angry at what they are doing.

I know. Oppression really hit him hard, didn't it?
I see why he hates whites so much.

There can only be so many TV/Radio jobs, and car dealerships. What are 1,600 guys going to do that makes them all at least a million a year?

True. But, if there's a big enough hit, sponsors who dictate TV deals aren't going to go broke covering the cost of lost viewership.

I know him personally.
I'm not sure about the others, but I have read a lot of articles about what the players are doing in regard to financial management and entrepreneurship. The majority will probably be in serious trouble, but a good percentage will be fine.

Yes, but it’s like the Aesop Fable and the dog looking at his reflection in the river. These people believe they are irreplaceable and they want more and more.

For their sake I hope they're making wholesale changes in the way they handle money.

If there are financial repercussions from lower viewership, all of this nonsense is really hurting players salaries five, ten years down the road.
