No lineman is going to risk losing post-season money over some political nonsense,I could see back in the day where post-season was significant. But with today's huge contracts, isn't it basically now a 'drop in the bucket'?

Thanks talking about it on another thread but was not sure.

EJ Manuel was GIFTED by the Bills GM at the time, Doug Whaley. Whaley picked Manuel in the first round, when everyone expected Manuel to go in round 5-7.
Having made that first mistake, Whaley then anointed Manuel as the heir-apparant, giving him a solid three years to try and make it as a starting NFL QB.
Manuel didn’t come close. Manuel is inaccurate and has TERRIBLE decision making.

Just what the NFL needs: question about the integrity of the game. Also, retaliation against non-black and/or non-protesting players. They certainly appear to have a death wish.

This sort of sounds like burning down your own neighborhood to protest how you are treated...Isn't that exactly what they do?

"I don't know how much to trust this source . . . but if this is true . . . BIG TROUBLE for the NFL. "
I predicted a breakdown in the relationship among the players would eventually happen on a thread last week. If this is true, the infighting has already started.

I have seen some insane collective actions done that no single person would have tolerated.
This sounds like a collective decision disaster on “the road to Abilene”. It is also known as a “false consensus” or “Abilene Paradox”
It is pushed by the media, which feeds the false consensus.

I was thinking earlier that a lot of the ‘Whites’ may have joined the movement because they are so outnumbered on the field and easier to ‘fake’ it than risking injury because of ‘missed blocks’ or getting ‘piled on’ etc.
Of course that could be (sort of) accomplished by just not speaking out against the ‘brothers’ but when they were being openly ‘for them’(Like Brady) I figured they went to far because when the SHTF, the Whites ‘closest’ to the Blacks will be the first to fall - no matter what their allegiance is.

A lot of that contract money includes incentive bonuses for post-season appearances, not just the nominal amount they are given by the NFL for actually playing each post-season game. Those amounts can be significant.
And let's not forget that every play in the NFL is scrutinized relentlessly by the coaches, and there are backups waiting to take each starting spot. No player is secure enough to pull something like this. Carr scrambled, got hit and had the opposing player put a knee into his back as he got up. He has back spasms. It happens.

the plot thickens.
I think President Donald Trump threw a certified hand grenade into the entire NFL owner, league management, player thug, ESPN, CBS, ABC, Disney, cable TV, NFL sponsor, pundit leftist cabal. if you own their stock, sell.

The problem, of course, is that it sounds all too plausible.

I watched quite a bit of NFL today for the first time in 5 years. I noted white players grouped together and the blacks grouped together. Tight camera shots on the crowds and all the pregame shows a celebration of pimp culture.
Disgusting. I needed a shower after one Sunday of that crap. Never again.
