I hope they strike if demands aren’t met. Be the end of the league IMO.

Goodell really has no choice but to agree to at least some of their terms. And it’s his own fault.

I think he makes about $34 million per year.

The NFL is going down the same suicidal path that many liberal universities are with the criminal and insane inmates running them. NFL/ESPN/Disney/? are driving up the monthly costs of many cable tv systems.

The increased monthly costs of Comcast out here on the left coast is ramping up the cable cutting. Part of that increase in cost is probably due to NFL/ESPN/Disney jacking up their monthly fees to the cable companies. How much of the price increases are due to low attendance at pro games. So the NFL jacks up its fees to ESPN/Disney?

So far this week, I have had 4 friends/neighbors look at our simple cable cutting system. They are writing down what gear they need to buy or in some cases how to just use what they have with smart tvs and being Prime customers.

I suggest that they use Sling Blue as a streaming system beside Amazon Prime to take away any monthly fees to the NFL/ESPN/Disney thugs.

Comcast and AT&T has jacked their prices up with long time customers to over $200/month with many of us at $250/monthly costs. Again, how much of those monthly increases are due to the super rich pro team owners increasing their tv fees to make up for less fans at their worthless BLM bs?

What Is Sling Blue?:(from their site)

Sling Blue costs $25 per month and gives you access to 43 live channels. However,

Blue does not include every Orange channel by default; there’s no Disney and no ESPN, for starters.

If anything, I’d reward the batter with a base and not the pitcher with an out.

No, an out is an out. Almost getting a hit is not a hit (or a walk). The batter's reward is simply the wear and tear he inflicted on the pitcher for the sake of his team.

But the pitcher did not get him out. As stated, fairness would be a possession arrow.

What’s happened to football is just as bad. Games take almost four hours. I don’t have time for that. Not only that, but they have crammed commercials into every second that the clock isn’t running and some seconds that it is. No more replays, no more X’s and O’s to explain the game, all that time is commercials now.

Goodell created a Frankenstein monster, and now it’s taken on a life of its own and is telling him how to run the league.

My first thought. Too many blacks and Samoans. Not enough Koreans and Japanese.
