Let Us Play! (Superbowl Ad)

Unless you or I are privy to what these expense reductions consist of, it's impossible to comment.

I'll never begrudge a business owner for trying to make more money. That's the point of being in business. And the commissioner works for the owners, so of course his M.O. will and always will be to increase profits.

PSL's cost $20k and upwards for two reasons. Number one, people are willing to pay, because aside from Jacksonville, SD, and TB, the stadiums are full and have massive waiting lists. Number two, is the owners are being raped by the players to the tune of 60% of all revenue.

And the 18 game season benefits everyone with league interests. The owners win, the players union gets extra roster spots plus the potential of extra game checks, bar owners get two extra Sunday's, fans get two more Sunday's, the networks win, everyone wins.

The players already have spoken up against the 18 game schedule so I dont see how "everyone wins". Any sensible fan who cares about their teams well being and felt effect of their team being beat the fuck up after a 16 game season shouldnt want this.

18 games does nothing but lines the owners pockets and cheapens the NFL season. Every game isnt that important all of a sudden. You can afford to take a week or 2 off and still sneak into the playoffs.The players get extra game checks but that relatively small amount of money is no incentive to risk their long term health.

You have billionaire owners trying to muscle the players who go out there and put their asses on the line, sacrifice their bodys and time with families all for these owners to sit in a box and get rich without breaking a sweat. Football is a 365 day a year job. The players are compensated handsomely but getting a 300k game check is nothing to what these owners are raking in year round.
Nothing but greed from the suits.

this is bad. when you have to resort to this, i have a feeling we wont be seeing football this fall. if so, with replacement players (again). hey on the flip side, the skins won the superbowl the last time.....so...hmmmmm

Hmmmm.... you all will still one of the worst teams in the league. It would take some mystical, superstitious type of BS to make you all a decent team.
