As a Steelers fan, you lost me...my family spent the weekend on our boat and we didn’t care about football. This weekend is the Clearwater Superboat Race, so another weekend without football.
I think some of the families that own teams “get it” but the league-wide decision to stand against the fans will have consequences. The owners are familiar with and have relationships with fans that have been season ticket holders through the decades even after the PSL fiasco and to watch them burn their stuff and walk away was an eye opener.
Goodell told them that this will blow over but these people have ended decades old, multi-generational relationships for employees that will be in prison or bagging groceries in a few years.
On top of that, the owners just handed the players the ultimate bargaining chip in the upcoming labor negotiations.
the NFL is done.
