“That’s because the team owners understand that getting into a pissing contest with their players is a no win.”
But team owners don’t understand that getting into a p****** contest with their customers is a no win?
These billionaire owners suck off the public teat to get taxpayer funds to build stadiums - that I understand. There are words for that - corporate welfare.
What I don’t understand is the NFL business model that seeks to offend the fan base.
Owners must be counting on millions of fans being indifferent to their spitting on American values. Sadly, many fans are.
They’re in a contest with the customers. They’re just waiting for a bad situation to blow over. Because they always do. This one was basically blown over before Trump decided to revamp it.
They aren’t seeking to offend anybody. But there’s nothing they can do. And they aren’t spitting on anybody. Frankly protest is an American value. One of our best. Not many countries actually have it specifically codified that the citizen can tell the government it sucks, and we get the added bonus of a government that always sucks.
