That's where I'd disagree.


You disagree that it's more difficult to replace an NFL Safety than a fast food worker?

Do you also disagree with Supply and Demand? Gravity? Helocentrisim?

An NFL safety is any player given a contract by the NFL.

Let's say all owners adopted Jerry Jones's "kneel and get fired" stance. They let's say 90% of the NFL's players quit. The game would go on and the new players signed from college would now be NFL players and they would be watched. It's not like you'd be replacing the players with elderly women. To the naked eye, they'd appear identical.

Don't make it a talent argument because college games get great ratings and the worst pro team would destroy a college team.

Also, since you seem so versed in supply and demand and economics, surely you realize that the players need the owners a lot more than vice versa. I PROMISE you if the NFL said "no more kneeling or you're fired", there'd be no more kneeling. That's a fact. You think it's coincidence that no one on the Cowboys has knelt? Most of these players read at an 8th grade level and couldn't do anything else to make $500,000 a year. They will do what they're ordered to do, just like most employees.

Players, like the rest of us, need that paycheck more than the CEO.
