Good, then the team owners can either suspend them without pay or fire them for not fulfilling their contracts by refusing to play.

Suicide is a horrible way to see the NFL dissolve. The players that do this are committing just that.

It works for me.

There are hundreds, thousands of very talented players willing to step up and fill the ranks.

I hope they go ahead and sit out. There are plenty of other players waiting to take their places.

Stupid nfl, this is all completely self inflicted. Now they have no choice, they are going to lose at least 40% of their audience no matter what they do. No way can they afford to pay players 100s of millions of dollars with that kind of losses.

Guess concussions have overtaken 25% of FL players. So sad.
