How many lashes do you think an actual slave would have gotten for a similar outburst against his owner?

Any player that brings up slavery is like a PFT poster that brings up Spygate. They got nuthin to actually contribute.

Please, oh wise one, show us the light!

Pretty much sums it up. Modern day PC platitudes being thought of as “fact” and even then it had to have it spoon fed you. Unsurprisingly, you turn around and call others “dumb”. Lol Thankfully, not all of us are as “smart” as others.

As well, just think how much further behind you’d be without the help of the resident censor here. Maybe a thank you card is in order.

The owners and players are in a partnership & will still be when a new agreement is in place. The owners need to explain to their partners why they need another billion off the top. How can you negotiate without that knowledge?

Oh, and Adrian – since you don’t own the company, you have no rights to see anything!!! You get millions of dollars to play a game – shut the f@#$ up and earn your paycheck.

The last CBA is out the window. If the players want to be “partners, let them assume the same financial risk and pony up to fund stadiums, pay office staff income & insurance benefits, pay stadium staff & security, pay for team doctors, medical supplies, coaches, uniforms & equipment, and all team related property taxes including pratice facilities etc., etc.

So, if you owned a business and had a partner, and he asked for a billion dollars more off the top for the good of the business and you asked him why and asked him to show you the numbers, I think you might be a little perturbed if he refused.

Remember, the players are basically asking to only extend the current agreement…the owners are asking for more money (and 2 more games).

Wow – either you’re trying to pretend you don’t understand just to try and hold your point or you are really lost.

Yes they share revenue. But the concessions stands share revenue FROM CONCESSION SALES with the stadium.

There is no union representing concession sales people. If there were, the stadiums would just use another vendor. It’s a contract bid system. NOT collective barginning.

Dumb as I thought.

Trust me, you’re far from good with that line of thought.

Now you keep yapping without understanding the entire dynamics and, unbelievably, thinking you have made some “point”. Why don’t you quit while you are only embarrassingly behind.

I’m reeaaalll goood!

Neither side has my support, as both have failed the fans. I’d like to see both lose in this, with the fans getting a reprieve through reducing ticket and stadium prices (I can dream). Perhaps a whole year of no NFL would do it.

My point….

1. Is what I thought
2. Does pertain to you and what you wrote (ignorant ass statement for an ignorant ass statement)
3. If YOU understand my intent than IT IS RELEVANT
4. I was clear; don’t fault me because you’re too slow to understand
5. I have no biased, you do.

Hey I got it, you made an ignorant ass statement, don’t cry wolf because I called you on it. Be a man/women/adult own up to your mistake and move on. Trying to defend it just proves how delusional you are.

And no, you’re not good

Regarding your point:

1) is not what you think
2) does not pertain to what I wrote, nor its meaning
3) irrelevant if I know what you meant as it does not apply to me
4) but even if it did apply to what my intentions were, you still get a fail for your inability to clearly elucidate the meaning
5) loses all impact considering your biased focus on the RE-action instead of the initial action.

Now, I’m better than good.

Since you’re assuming my point didn’t get across then you are also implying you understand what point I was trying to get across. So, like I said before as long as YOU get my point, I’m good.

PC platitudes may be forcibly spoken outside, however most people do not agree with them. You should make yourself aware of that fact and forget your non-”point”. Which again, is not what you think it said.

If you can sit there and right ignorant statements, hey so can I. I can post drivel, just like you have. But as long as YOU get the point, I’m good. lol

Of course the players are protecting their own interests. That’s what I do in contract negotiations because if I don’t, who will? But you can’t help feeling a little sorry for people who see the owners as benevolent patriarchs of their teams. I think some of them really believe that if the players take a cut, it will “trickle down” to them in the form of lowered ticket prices. The owners are just as likely to raise ticket and PSL prices. One has nothing to do with the other. Their benevolence ends at the door of their own safety deposit boxes and anything they get out of these negotiations will go to their pockets and nowhere else.

I don’t think your comment shows what you think it shows. lol

And Peterson, the burden of proof is on the NFLPA, not the owners. Kevin Mawae’s comment about “if they knew how profitable the league is they wouldn’t ask for $1 back” illustrates why the PA loses on facts – there is no such thing as a lockout/labor issue that happens because the owners are wrong about their league’s finances. If the league were as profitable as Mawae thinks, the owners were never going to walk away from the CBA; there never would have been a lockout.

It’s a fact Peterson and company remain in denial about.

What you and most of the people on here do not understand is that most owners DO NOT TAKE THE FULL BUSINESS RISK!!!! They are like banks who ask for a bailout all the time. The water system in Lucas Oil Stadium messed up so the city of Indianapolis is paying to fix it. But the Colts still can collect most of the revenue generated from non-Football events at the stadium. What other business do you know has the state raise taxes to build their factory? They may get tax breaks but not enough to pay for a facility the size of Lucas Oil and the state sure doesn’t maintenance the building!!!

Besides the stadium they also collude through profit sharing so that all teams are somewhat profitable. Profit Sharing gets to the whole problem with the current argument. Most teams are profitable, but some small market teams with bad management (Yes I’m looking at Buffalo) are not making as much as Dallas, NY, Washington, etc . . . Instead of increasing the profit sharing, they instead want to cut the amount the players make so the small teams can be profitable!!!

Here is a better idea, lets go back to traditional economics and let the teams pay what they can. Who cares if the big money teams dominate, isn’t that how capitalism works?!?!? But of course this would not allow the owners to artificially lower pay. If you don’t believe me look at MLB salaries vs. Peyton or Brady. No way baseball players are bringing in more revenue for their sport.

the owners still pay the contract for those bids-there stating that cost is going up and they want more money to pay those bids etc.if im a revenue sharing partner i would like my partner to disclose why he or she needs a billion extra dollars-PERIOD-but that is why all you savy bussiness owners are here commenting.

You are wrong and uninformed how this works.

The stadium puts out a request for bids to run the stadium concession stands. Several companies make their pitch, one is selected. That one has the right to run it for a season or two. Then the process is repeated.

If a bidder will demand to see the Cowboys financials so they can try to charge more because they think Jerry can afford it, they will be laughed at and one of the other bidders will get the contract.

The players or their union reps don’t submit bids for what they will play for. The teams make the offers because there’s only so many players with world-best talent. Low supply, high demand.

There are likely hundreds of companies that could run the concession stands. High supply, low demand.

See the difference?

white people can speak about teaching offspring about self control and personal responsibility and black people must listen.

white people can speak about education and advancement without special “perks” and black people must listen.

white people can speak about not being a burden on the social net of a nation and black people must listen.

Wow, thanks for that. Let me try…

Black people can speak about not letting thier kids beat them, talk back to them, or shoot kids in school and white people must listen

Black people can teach kids to appreciate things in life and white people must listen.

Black people can speak on being a professional athlete and white people must listen,

Hey locutus
See I can be just as ignorant as you

Hey PFT, does this comment fit what you’re looking for on this site?
