Just ridiculous

I don't have a problem with the owners making money, but I do have a problem with them totally misrepresenting themselves in order to STEAL from the people who are actually doing the work. I'm not sure Jerry Richardson doesn't actually believe people will pay money to see him throw passes to Jerry Jones.

NFLPA also deserves some of the blame for caving but sadly when your league is dominated by people in their early to mid 20's it can be difficult to get them to understand the long view and how they are being screwed over. Later in life they will realize that they have been stolen from.

Germans and tough shite for the players. Shouldve stuck to your guns.


And I was 100 percent behind players.

Also the smartest guy in the room will likely always be the most successful. There is a reason these guys can own football teams and the players get paid a fraction of what an owner makes to run into each other at high speeds.

Is 100 million in profit really anything sensational for an NFL franchise?

And now you see why they didn't open their books when they were claiming to lose money...

God forbid the owners want a bigger piece of the pie. They are not in the business for their freaking health.

FWIW, I was 100% behind the owners.
