More like Greed on both sides simple as that.
    NCAA equates much more to slavery than NFL

    1000s out there with legit talent who would kill to play pro ball for 100k a year while these frauds get 100x that and cry about slavery

    60+ players on a roster paid millions a piece, only 1 owner who takes all financial risk and accountability for the team.

    Players are using his facilities, his equipment, teaching provided by coaches paid by him, his capital. "Players" are nothing but disassociated individuals without the team, which needs to be owned/run/financed to exist.

    Fans
    Owners
    Players

    That's the NFL hierarchy, except fans have no practical organization to hold any effective sway, but could bury the whole thing in a boycott.

    Sounds like a pretty simpleton comment to me JJoke or whatever the f\*\*k you call yourself.

    If he was white what would you have called him?

    Probably honey or sugar since you would be licking his balls and azz.


    And just in case you could not tell, yes I am offended by your asinine comment.

    So on you and your morals.

    Needs to learn not to drop the ball and maybe the mouth fumbling will stop too. I think it would be fun betting on scabs. Bring up the AFL guys and turn them loose. Cut the ticket prices by 1/2 and fans will come out. would take just 2 years of this and the player "tuff guy union dudes" would be back asking if they could park cars at the stadium. Owners need to take a stand now and be done with this foolishness forever.

    you mean, like, take a majority of the money brought in by the stadium, for events in which you are not involved? oh wait, most owners don't own the stadium, it's usually built by the people. somehow, the teams owners still clean up when it is used for something other than nfl football. what a scam.

    without fans (taxpayers), there is no football. who do you think pays for the stadiums? the fans are the most important part of the equation. i don't really care, as i'm not much of a fan. too many damn commercials, and too long to complete the game to keep my interest.

    He plays a kid's game for a king's ransom.

    As soon as he pickus up an M-16 and goes to the middle east and gets his $1200 a month check ripped away, then he may have a point.

    Come on Adrian, my place is hiring, and you can work for minum wage and not worry about the 'enslavement' of NFL owners.
