Quit blaming convervatives for every ignorant idiot on this site.

GUARANTEE “raynman” is not a conservative.

And you didn’t have a problem with the idiotic rant of “904blasta”?

Sir,

Nobody forces you to ‘save for a license to watch these millionares’. You choose to do so because you want to watch the best athletes in the world play the best sport in the world.

Unfortunately, the players who you pay to watch ARE forced to play the game under the white owner’s (and commish.) ‘agreements’.

Sure, they may be millionares riding in fast cars and enjoying fast women, but they aren’t being paid what their true value is worth.

The NFL generates millions apon millions of dollars through ad revenues, parking, concessions, tv contracts, etc because of 1 thing: the performance of these players, who again are more than 70% Black. If the players were paid their true worth, Mankins (white) wouldn’t be getting franchised at $10 million it would be more like $25 million.

The fact is that these are the best players in the world. Wether they played in a tiny 7,000 seat stadium or the Superdome, they will still be the best talent available and that’s what you and everyone else check in an pay every Sunday to see.

Without that talent the NFL and the 32 stadiums in which the talent is presented would be worthless.

I suggest you check out “Forty Million Dollar Slaves” by William Rhoden and educate yourself on this subject.

If you read the book with an open mind you’ll understand that although the owners have the money and call the shots, the talent, the (for the most part) Black athlete, is the ultimate bargaining chip at the NFL CBA negotiating table.

Even if you don’t get anything out of the book, it should be an interesting read the next time your ‘put-put’ breaks down and you’re forced to take the bus.

really? you make a decent point about jersey sales but your bias is obvious. slaves built this country? surely they contributed but get real. thats a heck of a leap in logic, whatever your “logic” is.

and you act like the players dont make enough money. they are athletes. not doctors, not lawyers, athletes. in any job, the owner makes far more money than the employees. the players are the employees. they get their compensation. you deem that low, id say they get paid more than 98% of the people on the planet. the issue that lies with the players is that of health insurance.

your the ignorant one here.

Your racist comment aside (I thought PTF put a stop to that), you show the parralel between modern day slavery and the National Football League.

Players are getting paid cents on the dollar, while their white owners (who decide who can and can’t join their frat of 32, which just so happens to be 100% white) make money hand over fist from the ‘bucks’ production (who happen to be over 70% Black).

Once the ‘buck’ is deemed useless or weak he is released (rather than whipped, lynched, mutilated).

What’s even more outlandish is the fact that an NFL player doesn’t even make 50% of the dollar from jersey sales that bare his own name.

One would argue that Larry Fitz has made #11 of the Arizona Cardinals. Ten years ago nobody would ever buy that except maybe as a joke. But his production on the field has made the item a hotseller for the NFL. Yet the owners and the league get a larger % of the $ from each jersey with his name on it than the man who made the jersey profitable.

Yes, the NFL and the NCAA can be compared to slavery and the arenas they play in to an old southern plantation.

This country was built on the blood and sweat of slaves, just as the NFL’s popularity was built on the blood and sweat of mostly Black players.

In both scenarios it was the white man who exploited them.

A well known use of HGH is to make a dude’s arms longer.

Douche.
