9. I support the players.

Edited on Thu Mar-03-11 01:48 PM by W_HAMILTON

Just because they are rich doesn't mean they can't be taken advantage of by "their owners." The league makes money off the players, not the owners.

I support unions (in general) making concessions in true times of crisis, but not just because an owner wants more profit. If the company is in trouble, then concessions should be negotiated. If a company wants to bump his ROI from 15% to 16%, he can go to hell. The NFL is certainly not in trouble, they just claim to be. Gee, it sounds like a familiar story, huh?

Go players!
