Looks like Roger should actually be suspending protesters for "undermining public respect and support for the NFL"

is there any debate their actions are undermining public respect and support for the NFL? I hope nobody is stupid enough to argue they're not, because that should be obvious to EVERYONE. You don't have to agree with those people, but those people are out there none the less

Why doesn't anybody report the truth?



This game is far too easy

I believe it's far more complicated than simply this. I agree with you, there is little debate the players are in violation of this provision and this would be the league/owners number one leg to stand on. I will caveat, I'm not an attorney, but I was bouncing this off a few legal resources at our firm, one of which specializes is employment law. They pointed to three areas of recourse for players if they were terminated and/or suspended for anthem protests.

1.) Apparently the CBA does have wording indicating an employee can not be terminated due to their political views. It's a gray area, and possibly a losing one for players, but still an area they could attack.

2.) Although the players could/would lose their appeals over termination/suspension they could argue certain violations of the CBA and employment contracts that could allow them to be paid thier full contract, including non-guaranteed monies.

3.) The league/owners could open themselves up to discrimination/EEOC suits. For example, if a team only cut a few players that protested and not all, the players terminated would have a suit that is almost a guaranteed winner against the team. If the team cut all players who protested and other teams didn't, the terminated players could have a suit against the league.

I'm sure I butchered some of that, but that was the gist of what I heard.

Remind me. What did Obama say about NFL players?
consider yourself reminded...now go get your shinebox

“I want Mr. Kaepernick and others who are on a knee, I want them to to listen to the pain that that may cause somebody who, for example, had a spouse or a child who was killed in combat and why it hurts them to see somebody not standing."

Not sure where you are going with this....but as you say..."real talk"......lets play the game for what it is meant to be. Enough of all this political bs. I watch sports to watch it. Dont want to see anything but the game......Trump and the players taking a knee.....enough is enough.....play the game.

Well if Trump didn't say what he said, there would still be like a total of about 8 people kneeling or sitting. Now there's like 200+.

This is what Trump wants tho. He loves to have all the attention. This isn't even about standing up. Trump was beefing with the NFL when he was doing debates vs hiliary. And he was complaining about the NFL then. Except it had nothing to do with standing up. He was pissed MNF was on. Lmfao!!!! He was talking shit about the NFL simply because MNF was on while his debate was on. That's why he was mad. So honestly anyone who sides with Trump is a fucking idiot. I know all of you suck off everything he says but got to be realistic.

I was talking about Roger suspending players for such actions, which means he would have to suspend all the players involved thus mitigating most if not all of the above

While they can argue it's about political views, the NFL would simply argue their actions undermines public respect and support for the NFL. I think that's a slam dunk, but I'm not an attorney either

What I do know is that the courts have ruled time and time again Roger can make these decisions because the CBA gave him the authority to do so.

Fuck those trees? Is that what you do?


Fells point is a ghetto area? Lmao. You are dumb as fuck. One of the nicest spots in Baltimore if not the nicest. You have no clue what the ghetto is. Meaning, you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to these topics and why people are kneeling. Most of you don't even know what the ghetto is and even worse you think it's the nicest spot in Baltimore. Yeah fells point is the ghetto baahahhahhahhahah. Never heard that one before. I'll drive you around the ghetto and kick your ass out the car and you will have a new experience to tell us about on here.
