Players/employees only hold part of the glue of a business. Without a boss or owner, they have no platform to perform. NFL players can strike all they want, the longer they go, the more they lose value. Mother nature will always win the game of life. The replacements will eventually give way to a new crop of people who would want to listen to their boss.

I stopped watching Footbal last season, not because some overpaid Barney that looked like the Great Gazoo from the Flinestones got cut for taking a knee, because the media thought that was the only reason he got cut. Kap was a one trick pony once teams figured out how to stop the other thing he was capable of doing. It happens in baseball all time, besides if you're a knuckleball pitcher.

I'm sure at somepoint in your dreary life, you worked for a capitalist or a "Republican", and I'd be willing to bet you never called him/her a racist, nazi, or took a knee at work. If you a person of principle, you don't show up the game.

A liberal will talk a bunch of shit and will only skip work if their union backs them up.
