The Owners let the players be anti-American, cop-killing thugs because it keeps them from having to treat them like decent human beings.
“no Sunday-Thursday games (Thursday game only after an off-week), and guaranteed contracts”
I think the should only play two preseason games, have two byes weeks, only play a Thursday night game after a bye, and stretch the regular season to 18 games. Also, increase the roster to about 60 active players per game, and do away with byes in the playoffs by advancing 8 teams per conference.
That would also allow them to setup the regular season so each team played it’s division members home and home, played everyone in two other divisions in the same conference and played one division from the other conference.
