I’ll not watch till they begin to rip off each other’s heads and place the head on spikes at the fifty yard line. Therefore I’ve no dog in this fight

The NFL cannot die soon enough. It is a drug. I can’t take seeing yet another year of the morbidly obese 65 year old “man” crammed into “his” jersey to support a group of millionaires who despise him.

[Mark]

Come on players. DEMAND 150% increase in wages and benefits! You deserve that.

[sparklite2]

Inaccurate headline. The NFLPA is not the NFL.

[upchuck]

Everybody who cares about this raise your hand. [crickets]

About what I thought.

[IronJack]

Just what that worthless sport needs: one more reason not to watch it.

[laweeks]

No Fan League? Don’t watch it anymore, so I don’t give a rats a$$.

[Chode]

the wardens have to regain control of he asylum, and i'm still not gonna watch...

Friday night lights in Texas is better football anyway. Free parking, affordable tickets (free for seniors citizens,) good halftime show with the HS bands and dancers, $2 hot dogs, and our kids are playing. “Ya all come back now ya hear?”

[dinodino]

NFL sucks...bunch of anti-American, virtue-signaling assh0les.

The NFL lost me as a customer when I found out the military was paying them for all those patriotic events at games.

If I was still a fan, the "kneeling" millionaires issue cemented that I would find something better to do with my time and money.

I hope they strike and piss off the remaining fan base.

I just do not understand why we use zillions in taxpayer money to build stadiums and infrastructure to support professional sports teams.

[dynachrome]

Gee, that’s a shame.

[rawcatslyentist]

Tardigrades may fill the seats, but they don't pay the bills.

[rolling_stone]

now they have a reason to kneel down..and pray!

[cpt jack 1]

Go kneel somewhere else you Marxist, racist, elitist criminals. #boycottnfl

An escalation in NFL player militancy and an increase in their salary demands cannot easily be reconciled with the declining financial prospects for the NFL and the waning popularity of both TV and football. The money and fans are slowly ebbing away. Meanwhile, the risk of devastating long term brain injuries in football is leading parents and schools to steer kids away from the sport.

My guess is that the NFL is quietly contemplating the potential for a CGI football league modeled on the NFL's history of storied players and teams. One day, the NFL may no longer have an active player roster but will still be an active if smaller computer simulation business that pays out small residual checks to the heirs of its former players.

can’t it happen in 2019?
