Why would anyone side with the owners instead of the players? It's the slave mentality indoctrinated from very young.

Yes you signed a contract but your value goes either up or down. If your value goes down, you get cut and you're sh!t out of luck. If your value goes up, you ask for more money. Most NFL contracts aren't like NBA or MLB.

Bottom line, ALWAYS side with the players. The billionaire owners are the enemy.

Personally, I think Le'Veon Bell is smart for not playing this year.
