38. No, the Players should do what the Rams did, it would embarrass the Missouri Prosecutor

Mon Dec 1, 2014, 01:39 AM

Dec 2014

Such a nationwide movement, week after week, would NOT harm the fan base, but make its point from now till Super bowl Sunday. If necessary do it next year.

If the NFL comes out against the protest, then tell the NFL either permit it or go on strike. The NFL wants to make money, it can not do so in strike. On the other hand the bottom line of the NFL will NOT be affected by such actions week after week. People will object to the action, but they will still go to the game and buy team items. Given a choice between those two options, the NFL will opt to complaint about the protest, but do nothing about it thus avoiding a strike.

As to the Attorney General of Missouri and the District Attorney seeing those motions every week will sent a signal that they have to do something, not just go through the motions of going after this officer. At least take this case to trial.
