Wow! Tweet storm from WH in 3, 2, 1....Hahaha! Strange that only 11 of 32 team owners were present at the meeting or was that physically present and other teams were on teleconference. This isn't going to go well come this weekend.

I honestly have not watched a game all season, and I don't miss it one bit. Truth be told, I don't mind that they are protesting for social change, but I don't think it needs to be done during games...we would not expect a waiter or waitress to take a knee during our dinner, or are doctor or dentist to do so during an appointment, so why do we put up with these guys protesting during work?

We are not thier empoyers we are thier customers who are free to stop buying thier product for whatever reason we choose. But our rights as customers do nit included telling them how orb when they can exercise their rights. That is between the owners and the players and the respective organizations.

I am not telling them anything, I am saying I don't agree with how, or when, they are doing what they're doing. They are providing a service, just like anyone else who works, and the fans are the customers, and the customers pay to see football games, not protests. These men are being paid to play a game, not voice their opinions or protest during the time that they are getting paid to perform a specific function. As I mentioned before, we would not expect, or condone, this type of thing from other people in other professions, so why is it okay now? And also, like I said earlier, I don't care if they want to protest or voice their opinions, just don't do so when they are supposed to be doing other things.

interesting maybe football will go back to being a second job... like it used to be in major league sports. with sponsors pulling out, tax breaks and government funding being stopped and fans no longer interested. the millions of dollars they earn now will dwindle and they will really start to begin realizing what it means to live ordinary lives. Do what you want and believe what you want. Speak out about what you want but don't start complaining because your paycheck starts to decline. The NFL is a company and a company can only survive by way of its customers... and they have thoroughly pissed off a lot of them.
Hats off to them wanting to stand up for what's right, but seems as if they went about the wrong way to do so. Goodluck start saving those massive checks they will need them later.

it doesn not appear that they have pissed off enough customers to do them serius harm, the NFL is in no real danger, If the clamp down that will cause the harm also even if the Union does not get involved.
They have the advantage of being an industry funded by fanatics (fans) and addicts.

PO3 Jacob Jenkins - It turned out in the long term that the public did not give a damn.
