Errrr... Rams? You got too much hockey on your mind.

Right.. Rams.. i knew that, wonder how that happened. :smile:

Further on Rush.. you have to consider what you're dealing with.. this guy's entire mental outlook is geared to looking for opportunity and vulnerability.. a classic profile of a promoter.

All of what he sais is geared to an audience and a sale.. there is no empathy or intellectual integrity to anything he sais. In fact his fast paced verbiage, pushing hot buttons in his listeners, is designed to preclude any recourse to reason and circumspection, he wants them propelled by emotion and prejudice.

Take an objective look at what Rush proposes, and you'll immediately see it is inundated with inconsistencies, contraditions, ulterior motives, and lacks any kind of synthesis. Him and Glenn Beck.. idiots.

I disagree; I think players should have some say as to who owns the team. Especially if players are adamantly opposed to somebody owning a team, I think it will be foolhardy on the part of NFL to sell the team to that person.

Too funny. Players should have some say on who owns the team. What a laugh.

Ten was right...their job is to play and win if possible...not decide who can own the team.

Even if there is no boycott, such a move will create plenty of bitterness, ill will between players, owners and NFL, and it cannot be good in the long term.

The owners will do what they did years ago...bring in replacement players. The owners showed the players who is boss and who runs the league and it sure isn't the players.

Once again you should not talk about something that you know nothing about.

roflmao The NFL isn't a store that sells teams. People own teams. The NFL is just a league.
The girls that make up the soccer team I coach are part of a league. But the league doesn't own the team. The team belongs to the sponsors in the town.
lmao "Whatta maroon" in the immortal words of Bugs Bunny.

Actually, it is. The teams are franchised by the league.

They the players start covering the expenses then their opinion will matter.

Franchise:
3: the right of membership in a professional sports league
- Merriam-Webster
The league owns the memberships not the teams. Teams can exist outside the league but don't have the right to play league games.

OK. I take that back. It appears as if the league holds the contracts. Then the owners aren't really owners. Odd.

Why should employees have a say in who owns their employer?


And why not? Seems quite reasonable to me. A good employer, if he wants to get the best out of his employees, always consults the employees and tries to cater to their sensitivities as far as possible.
