- the meeting took place this past October.
The meeting included representation from NFL owners (including Mara and Kraft), players, retired players, and NFLPA
You have to love this. First thing from Goodell is
| “Let’s make sure that we keep this confidential,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said to begin the session. |
So someone of course records the entire 3 hour audio and gives it to the NY Times.
This has some politically charged content, so not sure this thread will last, but I find the topic interesting.

Bob McNair is, well, consistent.
You better be f***ing nervous about your dying league with ratings plummetting by 20% in the last few years and Madden is floundering.

No, someone surreptitiously recorded the entire 3 hour meeting on a recording device.
The owners care about the bottom line, unless the players have a financial incentive, I don't think a collective agree could ever be met.
If you don't care why the knee, you will not.
People are not turning off football because of the knee.
The only people in front of the television for the national anthem are fans of the team that is playing... they are going to watch.

...yet posts on a football message board in April.....that makes sense.
Haha that’s so brilliant and simple and why the hell didn’t I think of this sooner...

First of all, not every NFL player is a millionaire.
And if they are why can’t they protest like a non millionaire?

the nerve of them "complaining" about unarmed men getting shot bc their skin color makes cops fear for their lives
Back to ruin another thread with inane comments again....
They might have been egged on by someone (who I won't mention as to not make this poltical) - but people turning off TVs, not buying merchandise, cancelling season tickets - is a business nightmare.
Ironically, you have fans on the other side boycotting because Kap isn't signed.
