Eh? Sounds a lot like the NFL thinks they own the players.
Didn’t we fight a rather bloody war to end slavery?
Not really, the war began because the South demanded States’ rights and were not getting them. Slavery was part of it but not the cause of it.
Nope. We fought a bloody war to preserve Lincoln’s union. Freeing the slaves didn’t come til the end of the war as a tactic to ensure a union victory, not because it was the objective of the war to start with.
This sounds like a perfect scenario for an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL.
Which will likely result in another $3 jury award just like Donald Trump received.
I believe the Players Union is the blocking force at this point.
They do own the players. That’s what it means to be “under contract”. Musicians and actors are under similar strictures.
