I considered it but intentionally left it out. I thought it would be too easy for people to say "I'm on the side of football and couldn't care less about the owners or players". I was really looking for a split between the only two sides at the table.
Damn instigator!
Given my basic position that the automatic bifurcation of any contentious issue into only two choices with no middle ground acceptable is, from my perspective, one of the most pernicious cognitive dysfunctions humans display, I must, of course, demur.
However, I will submit that those
choosing one over the other hereby agree to the following:
If you side with the owners, you must refrain from ever commenting in a negative way about Dan Snyder having to do with financial considerations of how he runs the franchise including but not limited to, player salaries (esp. FAs) the operation of FedEx including ticket prices, parking prices, concession prices, advertising and or anything related to what is called the "fan experience". It's his business and his money.
If you side with the players, any negative comments about them must refrain from mention of "how much they're getting paid" vis-a-vis behavior and level play. Remarks
can be made about play, attitude, behavior on
and off the field but the element of their salary, bonuses, or the nature of their contract are
verboten. Somebody was willing to pay them that much to do what they do-they deserve what they were promised.
Have fun.
