These holdouts are destroying the NFL. MLB and NBA have monster contracts. NFL is BLACKMAIL. White slave plantation billionaire owners w their slaves. It’s humiliating the game of football. Bell started a terrible trend for the league. Fans and franchises want to see BEST OF THE BEST. So many NCAA athletes get fucked over in the process. I know at least 5 players from WMU I played with that were SUPERIOR than most in their position that didn’t even get a combine invite. NFL & NCAA scouts are stuck in the 20th century. They haven’t evolved to the new style of play and the game is obviously suffering from it. Walk ONS are BETTER than people on scholarship but these old men loser scouts don’t want to admit they suck & gave the wrong player a $150,000 free education. It’s a SCAM! I played D-1 football w Jennings, Delmas, Maragos, Scheffler & a few other NFL Super Bowl champs. All a simulation. Takes away from the SANCTITY of COMPETITION. The best players should get the bread plain and simple. It’s a popularity contest not DARWIN survival of the FITTEST. NFL has had enough bad press over the years w their acceptance of domestic abuse and handlings of certain athletes off the field but this is in their control.

@JOLLYOLLY curiosity question? If a player can fill seats and is not as good but the fans buy the shirts and the fans watch that player should that popularity not factor into their selection?
