I have no idea why some fans support the owners. These owners could care less about you. In fact, they openly despise the fans as people, and the only thing they want from you is more money. There’s never enough for the greedy! They aren’t going to share one dime of that with the average Joe working his office job, trying to raise his kids, trying to pay his taxes. The owners would rather see Joe on the street starving and homeless than pay the guy his measly $60k in salary and benefits – which is nothing to these billionaires. The whole thing is disgusting and just one more example of how the super-wealthy are parasites on society, and they should be openly challenged for their greed and lack of humanity.

It’s time our government steps in to protect average Americans… you know, the people who pay 80% of the taxes in this country. Federal government needs to step in and start regulating these sports teams like all other businesses. And teams that fire their employees because they are too greedy to pay them… those owners should be shamed publicly for being the greedy scum they are. However, you’ll never see that here because PFT like all media companies is just a shill for these people. PFT is owned by NBC which is hoping to win a contract with the NFL, so you’re never going to see the truth about these scumbag greedy owners here or in any other media outlet.

The executives for the Dolphins should take a massive paycut or forgo salaries for the year from a PR and employee morale point of view.

I don’t blame either the owners or players more than one another (they share equal blame), but this does make me angry at the owners. The people you are making take pay cuts are the ones who keep you afloat- and also the only ones in this whole fiasco who have no vested interest in what happens. The players “winning” will make no more of a difference for the people who just got a pay cut than if the owners “win”. In the end, it is turning into a lose-lose situation for them.

I really don’t know how Miami fans can support an organization like that. I would cancel my tickets immediately if my team did that. It takes fans to step up and ACT to let them know what we think about these kinds of moves.

Jones has been consistent since he joined the league. He wants to grow the league. He doesn’t want a “bigger share of the pie”, he wants everyone dividing up a bigger pie. What were characterized as “maverick” deals back in the day are the norm now and every team owner benefits from it.

He’s also been consistent in his opinion that every team should market it’s brand very aggressively in the name of helping to grow that pie. The fact that not every team will is why Jones wants out of the current deal. Players would like to have a percentage of every dollar that Jones (and other owners) makes no matter where or how he makes it. Other owners that are less interested in marketing want more of the money he makes off the NFL to finance their own mismanagement. They say they can’t compete without it when the truth is that they’re just not making the profit margins that they’d like to make. They eschew marketing and revenue sources such as stadium naming rights with contempt then hold their hands out and beg, with proceeds going directly into their pockets (as opposed to into their teams).

Good, they’re all overpaid. Staff, players, coaches— all of them.

I would hate to see your lowly paycheck. I feel bad for you.

Like I’ve said on previous posts of owners crying that they’re not making money to justify these steps, if Al Davis, who got 2 sellouts this past year and plays in one of the bigger dumps in the NFL isn’t slashing salaries for regular employees, these buffoons like Ross and Jones don’t even have a leg to stand on.

But by all means blame the players, or DeMaurice Smith, or President Obama, or whoever you have some rant built up inside you about that is completely unrelated to the actual issue at hand, which is that the new owners are horrible people that are unconcerned with the long term viability of the league over their own pockets being lined.

So directly F all your local employees to save a fraction of your overall expenses? Screwing over the people who you expect to put on your show every week? F U OWNERS!!!!!!!!!!

Way to rob from the lesser off to sustain the rich.

Get football back tomorrow.

Its not worth screwing all those folks over…

Stephen Ross may be the straw that breaks the proverbial camel’s back.

This is the guy who said the current system is unsustainable. Yet, he bought into said system quite recently. So, really, there are only two options.

1. He is a horrible business man. I find that one hard to believe taking into account he’s a billionaire.

2. He’s a lying cheapskate.

I am saddened by the complete and utter demise of this once proud organization.

“This is typical of a greedy, stupid owner who have no idea how to run a football organization”

It’s obvious to everyone that none of the owners know what they are doing look at the salaries they are paying to the players.
