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?




WOW.

Do you think that's all they are capable of doing and/or making plenty of money?

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.



Ok, $10B to $5B. There will still be plenty of money.

He is not a rocket scientist. He’s a brain surgeon.

Depends on CBA language and TV contract language.

I believe the NBA actually has the ability to void its CBA and do a new one thanks to the pandemic.

Any similar language in the NFL CBA or any of their TV contracts could be a problem. Especially if cable companies start dumping the NFL Network where a certain percentage of the games are being aired.

Thankfully, this racist loves to avoid claiming A&M as his alma mater (I was a student while he was playing in Aggieland).

Sane Aggies don't claim him either, so it works out nicely.

These losers always expect others to change for them while never being willing to put themselves on the line.

It's always "The owners support Trump! They must denounce him!". It's never "I refuse to play for an owner that supports Trump, so I will resign from the league."

Put your money where your big mouth is.

Yeah, any drop in ratings is not going to hurt financially for awhile. It's all going come down to the next deals they sign. This hurts future earnings.

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


All of which can be traced back to him playing in the NFL for the white people he despises.

Once he and Martellus became “those players” who introduced themselves on TV by their high school and not their university, both were dead to me.

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



Do you know how many 1-3 year players and late-round picks make up the 78%? Most of those players have degrees and live pretty good lives when compared to middle class and working class people.

It's not nonsense to the majority of the players.

I’ve held out for as long as possible because I love watching football, both college and NFL but I’m done with the NFL. If college goes this way, I’ll stop watching it as well.

I'll never understand not being grateful for a free education, and basically a place to show your ability to NFL scouts.

And now he's pooping on everyone else's good time.

Yeah that pissed me off too. Long before they started their racist SJW crap

I love how idiot leftists exhibit confirmation bias when I talk about those two in particular. They try to cast TAMU as this horribly racist place when they were there (being treated as literal royalty), and leftists will believe them. But if I say otherwise, and I'm one of their contemporaries from the same timeframe, oh I was just "lucky" or something.

I do...that's part of the point. Every player isn't Bennett. But, he's running his mouth off not thinking about what happens to anyone else.

Smh.

Of course, the players are capable of doing more than that. C'mon man.

Or they accuse you of lying.
Or the accuser goes radio silent.
Or they ignore what you’re saying, talk over you, and continue their diatribe.

Zero dialogue or constructive conversation.

I'm really not trying to be difficult with you...i'm seriously asking that in the future, in the event that all of us somehow break the NFL...what are these 1600 or so guys going to do that puts millions into their bank account?

How is Trump considered racist by these people?

Politics is really just a team sport at this point, I guess.
