Re: NFL, NFLPA enact rule prohibiting certain off-field activities with stiff punishment for violators, per report
The players want to play badly and the vets are not going to put up with idiots threatening their paychecks. Very real policing happens within an NFL locker room. Kirk Morrison, former LB, said on NFL radio that team leaders will make a point with all players as soon as real camp begins how things are to be done. No if's, and's or but's.

You argue it's less prevalent in the NFL than public life but how do you know? All we do know is the NFL lies to protect it's image and therefore less cases come to light. Besides, multi-million dollar athletes committing crime isn't an apples-to-apples comparison with John Q Public. They make more in a week than most make in a year. So they should be held to a higher standard. Their gifts are physical and although admired, don't make them any better than you and me. I wasn't referring to protests but since you brought it up, viewership did decline around the protests. Neither of us can say for certain it was solely due to protests but it's likely. You can google the data. However, you've accurately pointed out protests didn't stop most fans (including me) from tuning in and spending money. Personally, I thought the issue was overblown. But here's what I think you're missing: The NFL has knowingly covered up: - Rape - Murder - Domestic Abuse - Critical Health Safety & Science - Concussion Data - "Pay for Performance" Hoaxes (I threw that on in because I'm still salty) Life has a funny way of being cyclical and the NFL is not immune to history. One day, it will lose it's luster and my money is on fans finding something more entertaining to watch. |

Ragin, it is in the guidelines provided by the NFLPA to their members. If they become infected through any method but essential trips they will be suspended. They are coming down hard to control.

Those on both sides of the political spectrum want to claim it is because of them. Wrong. Technology. Sorry.

Re: NFL, NFLPA enact rule prohibiting certain off-field activities with stiff punishment for violators, per report
I'm am a retired analyst with all the time in the world at my hands (after taking care of the working wife) and spend much time already googling everything to do with the Saints and the NFL. Also manage to get in a five to six mile walk daily and cook every meal for the past 32 year of married bliss. Not to mention yard work, home repair, church volunteering.
Thank you very much! No I don't know it all. But I have made it a point to learn everything I can about something I care about. |
