Maybe this will be a campaign issue: equal pay to MLB and NBA.

Poor Richard doesn’t realize that 420 NBA players mathematically get a bigger slice of the revenue pie as opposed to 1700 NFL players. Really must T him off that benchwarmers in the NBA are getting 10 mil a year because of their CBA (which will eventually kill the NBA)

[Joe 6-pack]

Between Richard Sherman and Colin Coprophage, there may be no NFL left by 2019.

Just Do It!!!

If the owners have any stones what-so-ever they party like it’s 1987 all over again — And I will celebrate.

[txrefugee]

Suicide is not the answer, Richard. Come down off that ledge.

[Skooz]

I’ve been an NFL fan for 50 years. But, if it were to disappear tomorrow it will be missed for about a month. Maybe 6 weeks by the hard core fans.

[IronJack]

Please do. With audiences already declining because of the Kaepernick trainwreck, a strike would turn off a whole new batch of potential consumers. Then maybe we could see some real sports instead of a bunch of whiny, overpaid gorillas.

[Texas Eagle]

Talk is cheap. Do it.

[PGalt]

Colluding collectivists. Why not impeach the owners, Sherman? Well, I quit watching 20+ years ago (sad sack Lions) and all teams some time ago (wardrobe malfunction - hollywood football - entertainment v sports / opinions v measurables)

[capt. norm]

As bad as thins are for the NFL (lost audience = lost income), a strike could really kill them. Plus the fact that we are over-exposed to NFL, even off-season right now...at this moment I have my choice of six NFL rebroadcasts, etc.

I have a preference for college football where they have a higher cause than MONEY.

[OLDCU]

One of the reasons there was talk about Sherman being trade bait.

[KSCITYBOY]

Yes a strike is exactly what the NFL needs. LOL can’t stand these idiots!

[mewzilla]

What’s the NFL?

[discostu]

Of course on average NFL player salaries are better than MLB and NBA. The big difference is guaranteed, NFL salaries only are if the player got it in the contract, NBA and MLB are in the CBA. Which creates a lot of dead money and the NFL will never sign it. Labor peace is better for salaries than strife, especially in a league where most players are out in under 3 seasons anyway. A half season strike is 1/6 of most players’ careers, does Richard really think anybody wants to miss 1/6 of their career for a couple grand.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

"players have to be willing to strike,” Sherman said.

Oh Mr. Sherman! From your mouth to God's ear! Tell the players to take all the strike time they need: one, two, three years …

[right way right]

Richard Sherman has peaked in his career.
Now he thinks he can make it with his mouth.
He will be joining “Colon Kapernut the unemployable” if he doesn’t shut up and just play.
People are tired of this crap.
