Looks like there is plenty of cash sloshing around. Need more 'woke' employees instead of old white guys?

We are doing so well financially...we’ve decided to lay off a 200 people.

and cites/taxpayers have to build their stadiums

Sounds like some age discrimination took place. Why were only those 50 years and older selected for termination?

Ding ding ding ding ding!

We have a winner.

When this money machine has to tighten its belt…that tells you something about the health of the economy.

Roger is over 50, was he one offered the “voluntary” buyout?

Life at the office will not be good for those who pass on the buyout.

You often find some highly misleading information in these articles about professional sports leagues. The NFL is a separate business entity from its teams, and the revenue figures across the league do not end up on the bottom line of the NFL itself.

This is how they got away with their status as a not-for-profit corporation for so long. They'd still be doing it if it weren't such a bad PR move. The league's revenues are divided among the teams and show up on their individual books as taxable corporate income.

Seems the NFL is starting to feel the pinch over lost viewers/fans. And yet, Goodell is paid $70 million per year. How many of those employees to be laid off could be retained is this guy, who has allowed that league to degrade into its current clown show, was paid commensurate with his value?

I stopped watching and caring about the NFL when they allowed their employees, while in company uniform, at a company event, to disrespect the flag by kneeling.

Let’s see if we can reduce their revenues some more.

“ The league sent the buyout memo to employees aged 50 years and older who qualified, depending on the number of years worked”

Sounds like my ex employer. I never worked for anyone again screw them. I’m an investor now lol

[WASCWatch]

50 years old and older. Gee, that’s an age discrimination lawsuit waiting to be filed. Those individuals will make so much money in such a lawsuit, it will be for more than they’d make working for an additional 15-20 years.

This appears to be something common at many places. My local school district does this from time to time. Offer a buyout to older teachers, and then hire ones fresh out of college at about 2/3 the pay. The school makes the buyout back in about 2-3 years.

There is not necessarily any discrimination going on with this plan from the NFL. You offer to buy out your high priced help. But if they stay, they stay, you don't lay them off.

The season is almost over. This is like when I fire my landscaper every fall.
