Re: Saints players complain about 17 game schedule
 

You are missing the point completely and so are they. A vote not going someone's way is no justification for b1tching and moaning after, that's some new aged millennial liberal crap where tantrums get thrown for years after a vote. Contrary to popular belief, it is very much okay to not agree with something privately and not take it to twitter and a microphone.

Adults take good and bad and move on, otherwise they can resign and do what ever other skill set they possess.

This is being framed inaccurately as the league did not add a game. The league moved a preseason game to the regular season. 2020 was 4 preseason and 16 regular, 2021 is 3 preseason and 17 regular. Total preseason+regular season games in 2021 will be the same as 2020. Ergo they aren't playing more for less money, one could very much argue that the only change is that 1 game that didn't count against their regular season record, now does.

The point is that they want their cake but do not want to clean their plate. They stand sportively behind the union when it adds $ to their paycheck but move one game from preseason to regular season and the fans have to read about complaining.

This is a whole lot of drama over what accounts to 0-more games per season being played. They took the 4th preseason game where starters play and made it count on the record...

This is what the league knows, their game costs are pretty much fixed by stadium. Changing the classification of a game from "pre" to "regular" season increases interest and revenue exponentially.:bng:

Now I understand. This is really about not liking how millennials operate. "Those darn kids need to get off my lawn."
You still haven't explained the harm caused by people expressing their opinions or feelings on a subject other that it seems to annoy you.
But that specific change against the record is huge. The record affects playoff seeding. A regular season game is played full bore, not at minimal intensity of a preseason game. Veterans play minimal, or not at all in preseason games.
I'm not really debating the 17th game with you. I'm debating the premise of "Shut up. Play football. Be glad you have a job. If you don't like it, then quit." with no other options attitude when some have dissent to a proposal. Just because that's what you would do in that situation doesn't mean that others don't have a right to go in a different direction.

The players are slaves to the CBA. Good job standing up for players rights Smith. :roll:

The CBA only addresses players money concerns. Not the working conditions and Godhell still has the ultimate power.

Re: Saints players complain about 17 game schedule
 

But the working conditions have been changed to assist player health as part of the CBA just like other jobs. Like PPE in labs or construction sites, the NFL regulates that along with concussion protocols and changes to rules that penalize hits on defenseless players and protect the QBs.
