Doesn't this make Reid a giant hypocrite given the way he went after Jenkins?
|
So the NFL essentially buyes the silence of Kap and Reid with regards to NFL collusion, is this correct?

So did each team have to Pony up $2M to the NFL?

Wasn't the first time Kaepernick took a knee right after he was benched in favor of Alex?
Seems like someone was saying he was protesting getting benched and then when asked about it he mentioned he was protesting for equality. that could be completely wrong, I don't remember when the take a knee thing first started, was Colin still the starting QB? |
He didn’t take a knee. It started with sitting on a table between Two Gatorade coolers hiding and pouting. Such a pussy.

How many time you think Matt Cassel's name was brought up throughout this settlement?

This also keeps the NFL from ever having to go to discovery and having their dirt out in the open. |
two years of Goodell's salary to make it go away. deal
|
Whenever both sides keep a settlement silent, you know some big bucks changed hands and some serious skeletons got nailed into a closet.
|
Eric Reid just signed a 3yr, 22million dollar extension. How can you be blacklisted if you have a job?

Wonder what they didn’t want to come out in discovery Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
Quick question: how would collusion work in this situation? The NFL wasn't blocking them on racial or religious grounds. Why can't the NFL be allowed to control who plays in their league?!

It does appear the Kaepernick was blackballed by the league. Without commenting on the rightness or wrongness of his kneeling, the owners chose to not employ him for the bad publicity it would cause. And since the NFL has anti-trust protection, they are seen as a monolithic entity, thus monopolizing the market and preventing a previously employed player from earning a living, unrelated to his ability or skills.
That's why there was a settlement. And honestly, the NFL should NOT have anti-trust protection. Why Congress ever did that is beyond me. |
I'm sure the NFL has way worse shit that would have come out had this gone very far..hence the payment.

If what you're saying is hypothetically true, that would mean Kaepernick is going to accept a gag order on more egregious racist behavior for money... which entirely undermines everything he's hypothetically fighting against. Seems more like something you WANT to be true than something that is likely. Usually stuff like this for big corporations is simply done to save costs as lawsuits in the US are extremely expensive when you don't have activist lawyers working pro bono for you. |

It's really not that scandalous. |

This is one of the most powerful groups in America... they aren't giving away nearly 100 million dollars because they're feeling charitable, especially if they feel they have the upper hand on you. |
Quote:
Cos if he had a shred of principle and what you say is true (that he had the NFL in a bad place) then he simply wouldn't accept a gag order. The thing about settlements is that both sides have to agree. If Kaep had nothing to lose, why would HE settle? He's got the pro bono representation, the media on his side, and apparently all the leverage to make the NFL bend over... according to your hypothesis. I'm skeptical that's the case. |

As far as formal collusion? I doubt it. 32 owners are billionaires for a reason. They understand $$ and how it is made, how to make more and how to protect it. As soon as Kaep showed his Farrakhan hatred for America and the effect it had viewership ratings across the country, it didn't take a rocket scientist to know how to protect your company at that point. Kaep, chose to make himself "hot political garbage" and as time went on when initially he was just pouting because he got benched (as someone said earlier in this thread). But then someone from the radical progressive left saw a huge political and monetary opportunity and got into his ear and said, "hey you want to take this to the moon and then make some serious $$ when it's all said and done? Here is how you do it:thumb: Much cheaper paying out the lawsuit than losing viewship ratings and retail.:shrug: On a side note, Kaep's big lack of QB acumen(refusing to be a passionate student of the game) was being exposed more and more as time went on and why his play went to manure. He like many others before him, V Young, RGIII, Leinert, etc.....had the same problem and I assure you it is only a matter of time before Lamar Jackson will be thrown into that same pile. John Harbaugh has made a huge mistake tethering his career to Lamar Jackson IMHO. |

But there was literally no upside for them to continue this. Even if they win in court, they lose in the court of public opinion. They’re lucky Kap wasn’t really in it for justice and they could just cut him a check. |

And by the way... I don't think Kaepernick is a good poster child. But I belheve Eric Reid is a blatant case of blackballing. |
Quote:
Yes it is capitalism. You can stay private or go public with your company. You go public offering shares, then yes you must open your books but until then......only the Packers must open their books.:D Eric showed his Farrakhan colors my friend and he was as dead serious as Kaep and when he attached himself to Kaep he signed his own death warrant of never playing again. |

From what I recall, the lawsuit was about blackballing. Kaepernicks lawyers had to prove collusion to win. Thought I had seen reports where there were pretty blatant discussions between owners about not signing Kaepernick. Collusion is definitely illegal. |
was the audio posted?

The reasons why the NFL settled; relatively cheap, the NFL wouldn't face the discovery process, Executives and Owners wouldn't need to testify. FWIW |

That's not actually true and you have unknowingly picked a perfect example of why it isn't. Your Wendy's and McD's are locally owned franchises. Each one is a business with an owner that makes their own decisions while agreeing to abide by a few rules to use the name that they paid for. The NFL isn't like that at all. The NFL is a cartel. Their structure isn't actually purely legal in this country so they had to get special permission just to exist. Part of getting that permission was agreeing to abide by certain special rules. I think it's most likely that the NFL was afraid that an open, dragged out lawsuit would expose the structure of their special situation and leave them as targets for SJW lawmakers. |
To be clear, the Patriots don't really compete with, for example, the Chiefs. Not in a business sense. They are the same company.

Aaron Rodgers is not overpaid in Green Bay. He is only "overpaid" (debatably) because there is a salary cap. Without a salary cap, Jerry Jones could and would pay a QB like that a hell of a lot more. European soccer, on the other hand, is a market where players are actually paid what an owner thinks they're worth. The point wasn't to argue about what players are worth their contracts. Someone made a point that players are free to play somewhere else and that this was a free market. It isn't. The NFL is a rare industry that allows its owners to collude with each other to cap wages. Players are underpaid because the NFL is trying to create competitive balance. No, I do not believe that is evil because it makes football more entertaining (especially for a small market team like KC). |
