Stupid double post.
For me, if you're not willing to challenge the injustice of it, because you are part of the hypocrisy, afraid of kicking the golden goose? Then just STFU, from day one. Be good little butt boys, admit you did wrong, and let it go.That's missing the point LL. I'm asking what specific legal or other remedy those critical of the team for not having the stones to "do something" about this would have had the team pursue? Namely, something that would not put their own interests in jeopardy as well?
While I agree with this final analysis, I find it impossible to accept that it took them this long to figure out what they would, or wouldn't do about it. Which makes them look inept, to me. Not to mention, spineless, gutless, and nutless.I think Mara, the other owners and the empty-suited Goodell out and out colluded. I don't think any reasonable thinking adult could conclude otherwise. I think the NFLPA, led by a self-interested simpleton, allowed itself to be bought on the cheap to shut up about it, and as a result missed perhaps the best opportunity they will ever have to break up the old boy NFL by exposing its collusion and forcing it to become accountable.
And I think the Redskins, gnashing their teeth, when it was all said and done, did the right, smart and ONLY thing they could in order to NOT put their own long-term future at risk. They were forced into a risk/reward analysis and made the hard decision to let themselves get ****ed once in order to not be ****ed perhaps forever.
Sometimes the smart move is to do nothing at all.
Brilliant!!!In breaking news... There was seen black smoke coming from chimney at NFL headquarters. We still don't have a commissioner.
